Backend Architecture Decision Record

Golang as the backend solution

Requirement

• Need to interact natively with K8s
• Need to have a low resource consumption
• Need to support web requests, authentification, k8s communication, and redis

Option 1: Java (with Spring Boot)

• Easy and fast to write
• Great ecosystem
• High resource consumption
• No native K8s integration

Option 2: Go

• Native K8s integreation
• Low resource consumption
• Very verbose

Decision: Go

Mostly because of performances and low resource consumption
