You can compile your programs elsewhere, e.g. locally.
HTTP deployment
To deploy an HTTP application with Go, create a User program type site in the Web > Sites section.
After compiling the program and loading it into your account, you need to specify the command that starts your Go application, for example:
$ $HOME/myapp/hello
Your application must absolutely listen to IP and the port shown in the site configuration in the Command field. The IP / HOST and PORT environment variables can also be used.
