AnQiCMS memory usage reduced by 80% due to the technical advantages of Go Language.
Compile-time vs Interpretive
Go is a compiled language, where the code is compiled into machine code and executed directly. PHP is an interpreted language, which requires an interpreter to translate the code in real-time, using more memory.
Memory management
The Go garbage collection (GC) mechanism is optimized, with high efficiency in memory allocation and recycling. Compared to the PHP process model, it has higher memory utilization.
Single process
AnQiCMS runs with a single executable file, without needing to start an independent process for each request like PHP or rely on the PHP module of Apache/Nginx.
Concurrency model
Go's goroutines are lightweight threads, consuming very little memory (about 2KB). When handling concurrent requests, the memory overhead is much lower than PHP's process model.
Actual data
Under the same functional scenario, AnQiCMS memory usage is about 20% of PHP CMS, which is a reduction of 80%. This makes it possible for low-configuration servers to run.
