I did, but didn't end up trying it. Being able to hire a Spring dev for $10 p/h vs several times that for a golang dev (plus time learning a particular codebase) just means it doesn't make sense to use Go if you want to outsource in future.
I plan to run multiple experiments in parallel, keep working the day job and outsource the ones that take off. So the more standardised I can make the tech stack, the faster and cheaper dev work will be.

are you joking? if you can find good (I don't want really great) Spring devs for under $80.00 p/h let me know.
You can hire at that rate and everyone I hired had faked their experience and could get through the interview but did a terrible job.
So we ended up firing everyone and had 3 devs for above $110 p/h that were truly awesome who got the job done.
