Evolving E-Commerce with Go and Flamingo
summary
AOE replaces PHP frontends with a Go-based stack, develops the Flamingo framework for microservice-oriented HTML rendering, and runs it in production for over two years. It uses goroutines/channels for concurrent API aggregation, integrates with Docker/Kubernetes, OpenCensus/Jaeger and Elastic for tracing and logs, and open-sources the code on GitHub. Server-side rendering hits ~15–20 ms TTFB without caching. Teams onboard with a one- to two-day training plus examples and start delivering features quickly.
