9live

Go hosting

Deploy Go HTTP and gRPC services as small static binaries on dedicated vCPU, with managed PostgreSQL or Redis on the private network. Go's low memory use leaves most of a plan available for databases and workers.

Build and run

9live detects Go automatically. You can override any default in 9live.toml, or add a Dockerfile and we'll use that instead.

Recommendations

Settings that work well for Go on dedicated hardware.
  • Distroless or scratch base images deploy quickly and contain very little besides your binary.
  • Use go.uber.org/automaxprocs so GOMAXPROCS matches the vCPUs allocated to the process.
  • With pgx, a pool size of about four connections per vCPU works well against managed PostgreSQL.
  • gRPC and HTTP/2 are supported end to end.

Questions

Do we need a Dockerfile to deploy Go?

No. 9live detects Go and builds it with a maintained buildpack. If your repository has a Dockerfile, we use it instead.

How are environment variables managed?

Set them per environment in the dashboard or with the CLI. They are encrypted at rest and injected at runtime. Connection strings for managed databases are added automatically.

What happens when a deploy fails?

If the build fails, or the new release fails its health check, the current release keeps serving traffic. You get a notification with the build or health-check logs.
