How does Go resolve dependencies?

Square detects your go.mod or go.work and resolves modules automatically. No manual go mod download needed.

Can I use Go Workspaces?

Yes. go.work is supported natively — ideal for monorepos with multiple modules.

How do I optimize the binary for production?

Use START=go build -ldflags="-s -w" -o app && ./app for a smaller binary without debug info, deploy-optimized.

Is Go better than Node.js for microservices?

Depends on workload. Go shines in high concurrency (goroutines), consistent latency, and predictable memory use. Node.js wins on JS-end-to-end ecosystems.
