Python and Go side-by-side

Raw

Overview.md

We have 2 projects:

https://github.com/alphagov/backdrop which is the current Python API for the Performance Platform. It's a couple of Flask apps.
https://github.com/alphagov/performance-datastore which is a Go implementation of part of that API, plus a sketching area for me to define how I think the read API should look. It is currently a single Go binary, which supports zero-downtime redeployments via upstart.

https://github.com/alphagov/backdrop/tree/master/backdrop/write implements the existing write API.

The Go version is virtually identical on a feature basis, except it's faster :)
