Migrating microservices from Node.js to Go
[ SYSTEM LOG: 2025-08-20 ]
At SpinnrTech, we faced a bottleneck with our order tracking API written in Node.js. Under high concurrency, the event loop struggled with CPU-intensive data transformations.
I led the initiative to rewrite this specific microservice in Go.
Results:
- Memory footprint reduced by 60%.
- Response time dropped from 120ms to 15ms.
- Concurrency handled gracefully with Goroutines.
Node.js is still my go-to for I/O heavy, rapid prototyping, but Go's performance in CPU-bound microservices is unmatched.
