Question 1

How do I add middleware to an Atreugo server?

Accepted Answer

Use the Use() method for global middleware or attach it to specific routes, with functions that run before or after handlers. The examples repository demonstrates this with practical code snippets.

Question 2

Atreugo vs Gin: which is better for high-performance APIs?

Accepted Answer

Atreugo, built on fasthttp, excels in raw speed and low memory usage for extreme throughput. Gin, based on net/http, offers a richer middleware ecosystem but may be slower in benchmarks.

Question 3

Can I use standard net/http middleware with Atreugo?

Accepted Answer

Yes, via adapter functions that allow net/http handler integration. However, for optimal performance, native fasthttp handlers are recommended, as noted in the documentation.

Question 4

What are the memory allocation benefits of Atreugo?

Accepted Answer

Atreugo minimizes allocations in critical paths, reducing GC pressure. Benchmarks show lower allocation rates under concurrency, leading to more stable performance in high-load scenarios.

Question 5

How to handle WebSocket connections in Atreugo?

Accepted Answer

Use RequestCtx.Hijack() for connection upgrades, enabling WebSocket support. The Atreugo organization provides additional libraries like websocket middlewares for easier implementation.

Question 6

Is Atreugo suitable for production APIs with high traffic?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with benchmarks demonstrating over 1M concurrent connections and built-in anti-DoS limits, it's designed for production use in performance-critical applications like microservices.
