Supervisor ensures the Go API stays up and auto-restarts if it crashes, while Nginx serves as a high-performance web server and reverse proxy.
Supervisor is favored for its easy setup, log management, and process monitoring capabilities compared to alternatives like Systemd, PM2, or Docker.
Use Supervisor for managing a non-containerized Go service with features like auto-restart and log management.
Initial setup involves installing Go, Supervisor, Nginx, and creating a new Go project directory with required dependencies.
The article provides code snippets for creating a simple Go API, generating ASCII text responses, and running the server.
To run the API as a background service, a Supervisor configuration file is created and the service is started and managed through Supervisor commands.
Nginx is then set up as a reverse proxy for the API, and its configuration is tested and restarted for the changes to take effect.
Finally, the article suggests testing the API using localhost or the server's public IP and mentions setting up HTTPS for improved security.
