HTTP/2 solves head-of-line blocking at the application layer by multiplexing multiple streams over a single TCP connection. While HTTP/1.1 requires requests to be processed sequentially, HTTP/2 allows parallel processing through independent streams, each with its own ID. The Go standard library supports HTTP/2 out of the box when using HTTPS, and with some configuration, it can work over plain HTTP too
Add Go 1.24+ native H2C support examples by AndrianBdn · Pull Request #6 · thrawn01/h2c-golang-example
Starting from Go 1.24, HTTP/2 Cleartext (H2C) is supported natively in the standard library, eliminating the need for golang.org/x/net/http2/h2c package or workarounds. Since this repository ranks ...

HTTP Semantics
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a stateless application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypertext information systems. This document describes the overall architecture of HTTP, establishes common terminology, and defines aspects of the protocol that are shared by all versions. In this definition are core protocol elements, extensibility mechanisms, and the "http" and "https" Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) schemes. This document updates RFC 3864 and obsoletes RFCs 2818, 7231, 7232, 7233, 7235, 7538, 7615, 7694, and portions of 7230.
Notes on structured concurrency, or: Go statement considered harmful — njs blog
Every concurrency API needs a way to run code concurrently. Here's some examples of what that looks like using different APIs:
Go Web Programming
Build scalable, high-performance web apps in Go with modern design principles.
The Go Programming Language
Go is an open source programming language that makes it simple to build secure, scalable systems.
Optimizing Protocol Buffers in Go Applications
If you’ve ever wondered why your Go service is eating memory like it’s at an all-you-can-eat buffet, chances are you haven’t optimized your Protocol Buffers usage. I’ve been there, watching heap profiles with the kind of horror usually reserved for checking your bank account after a night out. But here’s the good news: Protocol Buffers in Go can be wickedly fast and memory-efficient when you know the tricks. Let me walk you through the optimization techniques that transformed my services from memory-hungry monsters into lean, mean, serialization machines.

Gorilla Mux Middleware in Go
Gorilla Mux is a popular request router and dispatcher for the Go programming language. It allows developers to define routes for their web applications, and Gorilla Mux middleware functions attach to those routes to perform additional processing on incoming requests. Routes in Gorilla Mux are defined using the mux.NewRouter() function, which returns a new instance […]
Preserving Order in Concurrent Go Apps: Three Approaches Compared
Concurrency breaks ordering by design, but sometimes we need both. Explore three methods to preserve order in concurrent Go applications, from standard ReplyTo channels to sophisticated permission passing, with benchmarks and real-world trade-offs.

The Go programming language
Go may be our generation's most important new programming language. It is exceptionally expressive, highly efficient in both compilation and execution, and enables the development of extremely reliable and robust programs. It shares the same spirit programmers once found in C: it helps serious professional programmers achieve maximum effect with minimum means. Now, Go shares something else with C, too. Brian Kernighan, who wrote the world's most respected and useful C primer for working programmers, has just done the same for Go. Together with Google Go insider Alan Donovan, Kernighan explains what Go does and doesn't borrow from C ... the great ideas it borrows from other modern languages ... and how it avoids features that lead to unnecessary complexity and unreliable code. Throughout, their short, carefully-crafted code examples demonstrate today's most effective Go idioms, so you can start using Go effectively right from the beginning, and quickly take advantage of its full power. All code has been extensively reviewed by Go's creators at Google for both completeness and accuracy
