Over the course of 2018, we researched on which language to choose for our blockchain implementation. This led us to choose Go because of our understanding that it has a good community and an amazing tool-set. > In recent weeks we are entering the final stages of integration of our system. As in any large system, the later stage problems which include performance issues, in specific memory leaks, may occur. As we were integrating the system, we realized we found one. In this article I will touch the specifics of how to investigate a memory leak in Go, detailing the steps taken to find, understand and resolve it.
