Since this heavily involves networking, take a look into using gnet [0]. You might find some interesting performance improvements by using that over just net.Conn.

Node is a joke. It's not good for this.

Check out https://github.com/panjf2000/gnet, it also has some links at the end.

Show HN: Python framework is faster than Golang Fiber | Jan 2023
Since we're in the useless benchmark, this Go native library completely wreck any C/C++ lib wrapped by Python: https://github.com/panjf2000/gnet

It is as fast as the fastest C++ / Rust implementation.

Go does not forces you to do any of that: https://github.com/panjf2000/gnet ( and as you can see it's as fast as the fastest C++ lib )

Go provides go routines as a building block, it's up to you to use that or use something else ( reactor pattern, epoll ect ... )
Gnet: A high-performance,event-loop networking library written in pure Go | Sep 2019
https://github.com/panjf2000/gnet

`gnet` is an Event-Loop networking framework that is fast and small. It makes direct [epoll](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoll) and [kqueue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kqueue) syscalls rather than using the standard Go [net](https://golang.org/pkg/net/) package, and works in a similar manner as [libuv](https://github.com/libuv/libuv) and [libevent](https://github.com/libevent/libevent).

`gnet` sells itself as a high-performance, lightweight, nonblocking network library written in pure Go which works on transport layer with TCP/UDP/Unix-Socket protocols, so it allows developers to implement their own protocols of application layer upon `gnet` for building diversified network applications, for instance, you get a HTTP Server or Web Framework if you implement HTTP protocol upon `gnet` while you have a Redis Server done with the implementation of Redis protocol upon `gnet` and so on.

`gnet` derives from project `evio` while having higher performance.
