Why the models rank Go — on best backend runtimes for serverless apis
“Compiles to small static binaries with cold starts and steady-state performance near the top of every serverless benchmark; first-class on AWS Lambda (provided runtimes), Google Cloud Run/Functions; goroutines make concurrent API handlers trivial; no dependency-tree rot. Best value when performance-per-dollar matters at scale.”
