In working with Go, I most often used the following protocols:
-
HTTP/HTTPS: The main protocol for web services and REST APIs. Easy to use, well supported by the standard library net/http.
-
gRPC: For high-performance microservices with support for binary protocol and contract description via protobuf. Allows efficient data exchange and supports streaming.
-
TCP/UDP: For low-level network applications where control over data transmission is needed, such as in real-time systems or game servers.
-
WebSocket: For bidirectional real-time communication between client and server, for example, in chats or live update applications.
The choice of protocol depends on the task: HTTP is good for compatibility and simplicity, gRPC — for performance and strict typing, TCP/UDP — for specific network requirements.
