.NET vs Go: which is better for cloud services?

The question is about .NET .

Answer:

Go usually wins for lean, high-throughput cloud services, and .NET fits better when a service needs to share code with a larger enterprise .NET codebase. Go compiles to a single static binary with no external runtime, so a minimal container image often lands under 20MB; a self-contained .NET deployment, even with Native AOT, typically runs several times larger.
