For those of you running Go backends in production:

What is your stack / configuration for running a Go web application?

I haven't seen much on this topic besides people using the standard library net/http package to keep a server running. I read using Nginx to pass requests to a Go server - nginx with Go

This seems a little fragile to me. For instance, the server would not automatically restart if the machine was restarted (without additional configuration scripts).

Is there a more solid production setup?

An aside about my intent - I'm planning out a Go powered REST backend server for my next project and want to make sure Go is going to be viable for launching the project live before I invest too much into it.
