Go Binariesis an on-demand binary server, allowing non-Go users to quickly install tools written in Go without installinggoitself, and removing the burden of cross-compiling and uploading dozens of binaries for every command-line you write.

Take for example you want to install @rakyll's fantastic HTTP benchmarking toolhey,to install the latest release you would run:
curl -sf https://gobinaries /rakyll/hey|shThis request fetches the latest tag from GitHub and responds with a shell script which performs a second request, populated with the resolved version and architecture as shown here:
https://gobinaries /binary/github /rakyll/hey?os=darwin&arch=amd64&version=v0.1.3
The response of this request is a Golang binary compiled for the requested os, architecture, and package version. The result is cached in a CDN for subsequent requests.
- The Go package must compile in under 100 seconds (CDN limitation)
- The Go package must have at least one Git tag
What's wrong with go-get?
Using go-get for installation is fine if you're a Go user, however, if you're creating programs which are designed to be used by a wider audience it's unlikely they will have Go installed.Which version of Go is used?
Currently Go 1.13.x via the official golang:1.13 Docker image.
