What is Go development?

Go (Golang) development is building high-performance applications using Google's Go programming language. Go is designed for building scalable, concurrent systems, APIs, microservices, and backend services that handle high traffic efficiently. Go's built-in concurrency model with goroutines and channels makes it ideal for building systems that process thousands of requests simultaneously.

What Go technologies do your teams work with?

Our Go development teams work with Go standard library, goroutines and channels for concurrency, popular frameworks like Gin, Echo, and Fiber, gRPC for microservices, database libraries like GORM and sqlx, and cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, and Azure. They build REST APIs, microservices, and backend systems. Teams also work with event streaming platforms like Kafka, observability tools like OpenTelemetry, and containerization with Docker and Kubernetes.

How quickly can a Go development team start working?

Go development teams typically start within 2-3 weeks after team assembly. We match engineers to your requirements, you interview final candidates, teams onboard on your codebase and tools, and they integrate with your standups and processes immediately. The first week includes discovery sessions, architecture reviews, and tooling setup to ensure a smooth integration.

What makes Go ideal for backend development?

Go is ideal for backend development because of its excellent concurrency model, fast compilation, and efficient runtime performance. Go's goroutines allow handling thousands of concurrent connections with minimal overhead, making it perfect for APIs, microservices, and data processing pipelines. The language's simplicity and strong standard library reduce development time while maintaining code quality.

Can a Go development team work with our existing tech stack?

Yes, our Go development teams are experienced in integrating with existing systems regardless of the tech stack. They work with REST APIs, GraphQL, gRPC, message queues, and databases to connect Go services with your current infrastructure. Teams follow your architectural patterns and can gradually modernize legacy systems while maintaining backward compatibility.

Hire a Go Development Team That Ships Reliable Platforms

Q: Why hire a dedicated Go development team?

Hiring a dedicated Go development team gives you full-time engineers who specialize in building high-performance backend systems, APIs, and microservices. They work exclusively on your project, integrate with your organization, and provide scalable capacity as your needs grow. Unlike freelancers or project-based teams, dedicated teams become embedded in your workflows, understand your business context, and maintain long-term ownership of the systems they build.

Build high-performance backend systems with a dedicated Go development team that behaves like an in-house squad. We assemble seasoned Golang engineers, DevOps specialists, QA, and product-minded leads who have shipped production platforms for fintech, logistics, health, and SaaS companies across North and Latin America.

You get people who obsess over response times, error budgets, and customer impact. Our teams are comfortable pairing with your engineers, presenting to stakeholders, and explaining trade-offs in plain language. When we say Go experts, we mean engineers who understand concurrency design, observability, and the realities of maintaining long-lived services—not just the syntax.

If you need additional support around architecture or mentoring your existing developers, we can pair your squad with a Go fractional CTO or tech lead to help you own the roadmap, not just the backlog.

Flexible models: launch with 2–3 engineers and scale to a full pod, staying aligned with your sprint cadence.
Transparent collaboration: daily standups, async Loom updates, and shared dashboards keep everyone in the loop.
Outcome-driven: we plan work around measurable goals—latency targets, uptime commitments, compliance requirements, or release milestones.

Case study: Fleet logistics platform modernization

The Challenge: FleetPulse, a US-based logistics company managing 25,000+ daily delivery routes, was struggling with a monolithic PHP system that couldn't scale. Their legacy platform was experiencing 3-5 second response times during peak hours, causing driver frustration and customer complaints. The system couldn't handle real-time route optimization, and their pricing engine required manual intervention for complex scenarios. They needed a complete backend overhaul without disrupting daily operations.

Our Solution: We assembled a dedicated Go development team with four senior backend engineers specializing in concurrent systems, one DevOps lead with Kubernetes expertise, and a product designer who embedded directly with FleetPulse's operations team. The team conducted a two-week discovery phase, mapping all critical workflows and identifying quick wins. We then architected an event-driven microservices platform using Go, Apache Kafka for event streaming, and gRPC for inter-service communication. The new pricing engine processed millions of route calculations per hour, with sub-200ms decision latency.

Technical Implementation: The team built 12 microservices in Go, each handling specific domains (routing, pricing, carrier management, analytics). We implemented circuit breakers, retry strategies, and distributed tracing using OpenTelemetry. The system used PostgreSQL for transactional data and Redis for caching route calculations. All services were containerized with Docker and deployed on Kubernetes, with automated canary deployments reducing risk to zero-downtime rollouts.

Timeline: 14 weeks from team onboarding to full production rollout, with zero downtime during migration.
Performance gains: Response times dropped from 3-5 seconds to 180ms average (p99), handling 10x more concurrent requests.
Business impact: 37% faster dispatch planning, 22% reduction in carrier disputes due to transparent pricing, and a new premium-tier revenue stream launched in week 12 that generated $2.3M in the first quarter.
Operational improvements: Automated canary deployments reduced deployment risk by 85%, and comprehensive observability cut incident resolution time from hours to minutes.
