Go is a programming language that combines high performance with simple syntax. This article introduces best practices for improving the performance of Go applications.

Importance of Profiling

The first step in performance optimization is identifying current bottlenecks. Go includes a powerful profiling tool called pprof as part of its standard library.

Memory Management

Go’s garbage collector is efficient, but paying attention to memory allocation patterns can enable further optimization.

Leveraging Concurrency

One of Go’s strengths is concurrent processing using goroutines. Proper utilization can maximize CPU resource usage.
