> ownCloud Infinite Scale neither requires Apache nor any PHP infrastructure
I don't know much about production web services in Go, but is it true that they wouldn't need Apache?
I work on a site using Python/Gunicorn and Node behind Nginx, and Nginx is really doing a lot of critical stuff for us, normalising requests, preventing certain classes of security issues, DoS attacks, etc. I wouldn't expect that sort of protection to be built into Go's standard HTTP server?
As with most builtin language HTTP servers it is advised to run Nginx/Apache/Caddy in front of it.
I think what they mean with PHP infrastructure is the specific configuration required to make Apache work with PHP, in the old days this was with an Apache plugin, or more recently the php-fpm project.
