Nano is a lightweight, high-performance game server framework written in Go. It provides a component-based networking architecture with built-in distributed system support for building real-time, social, and mobile game servers over TCP and WebSocket.

Use cases

• build a multiplayer game server in Go
• create a real-time chat server with WebSocket
• implement a distributed game backend with message routing
• handle client sessions and push messages to players
• build a mobile game backend with TCP networking
• run asynchronous tasks like database lookups during login

When to choose

• you are building real-time or multiplayer game servers in Go
• you want a lightweight alternative to heavier game server frameworks like Pomelo
• you need built-in distributed/cluster support for game backends
• you want component-based handler registration with session push/response semantics

When to avoid

• you need a general-purpose web framework for REST APIs
• your game engine requires a full client-side or rendering solution
• you need a mature ecosystem with extensive third-party plugins
• you are not working in Go
