title: Using Go's HTTP server for production
body: <p>I'm a PHP developer new to Golang. PHP comes with an inbuilt server which is not recommended for production. I read the <a href="http://astaxie.gitbooks.io/build-web-application-with-golang/" rel="noreferrer">beautiful book by astaxie</a> on web development in Go and also the <a href="http://golang.org/doc/articles/wiki/" rel="noreferrer">golang.org example on writing a web app</a>. They both use the <code>http.ListenAndServe()</code> to create a web server. I just want to know if this server can be used in production or is it just a dummy server like PHP inbuilt server? By production I mean, can it handle huge traffic like an Apache or ngnix server?</p>
