On: Go + Services = One Goliath Project

At least the article makes it seem it's not a decision taken on a whim and they did some kind of POC and planned the transition.

Of course the obvious thing missing in the article is how they expect to deliver new business features while recoding everything in a new language.

It's fun to read this and the Etsy thread currently on the frontpage as well.

For new features, the new parts of the GraphQL schema for those features will be written in Go as part of the new services. Our frontend is already in large part a single page app in React which requests data via GraphQL, so the frontend for the features will look just the same as it would on our monolith.
