I disagree, “req/res body cookies that’s it” is not the underlying system. It’s an abstraction over the TCP/IP and HTTP stack.

What happens when you need to disable nagles, avoid copies of the request body, use websockets, gRPC, etc? You’d need to pray that the framework gives you an escape hatch.



I might be doing it wrong, but I just approach those as new pipes to be put onto the system? they're after all basically different ways of transmitting data from point a > point b.

Why would you choose a framework that didn't provide a escape hatch for your use case is the real question tho.

TIL: Nagles/TCP
