High speed Beego with NGINX

Although Go is a relatively new programming language, its popularity has been rapidly increasing as the demand for higher performance and greater scalability increases. Go is derived from Google's desire to scale rapidly, yet safely, and already has a number of web frameworks available.

One of the most popular frameworks is Beego, an easy to use MVC-based web framework with integrated REST and code hot compile. By harnessing the performance of Go, Beego can outperform other frameworks (using a different programming language) by more than ten times in many instances.
