Production setup

To run Ply in production environments, follow these steps:

Requirements

• Go 1.26 or newer is required (fasthttp 1.77).

• Ply runs on fasthttp and adds routing, middleware and context handling. The HTTP engine, parser and writer are fasthttp; Ply sits above them.

Build the app

go build -o app main.go

Behind a reverse proxy

Use a reverse proxy to handle TLS, compression, and more:

• Nginx
• Caddy
• Traefik

Example (Nginx):

location / {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
}

Process management

Keep your app running with:

• systemd (recommended for Linux)
• PM2 (Node.js process manager)
• Docker container runtime

Monitoring and logging

Integrate with:

• Prometheus for metrics
• Grafana for dashboards
• Logging systems like Loki or Logtail
