Are Go servers at New York Times or other companies impacted by the Golang GC pause? I am learning Golang and want to know if Golang GC pause is a significant issue in production.
We're doing RTB with Google DoubleClick AdX, and our bidder (written in Go) can easily handle 4000 QPS per server with only a 0.3 % error rate.
Is 0.3% error rate caused by GC pause?
From what we can tell, yes. But, according to our Google contacts, we're among the top performers, most parties taking part in RTB perform a lot worse.
