> how do you deploy your static binary to the server? (without much downtime ?)

Ask yourself how would you solve this problem if you deployed by hand and automate that.

1. Create a brain-dead registry that gets information about what runs where (service name, ip address:port number, id, git commit, service state, last healthy_at). If you want to go crazy, do it 3x.

2. Have haproxy or nginx use the registry to build a communication map between services.

You are done.

For extra credit ( which is nearly cost free ) with 1. you now can build a brain-dead simple control plane by sticking an interface to 1 that lets someone/something toggle services automatically. For example, if you add percentage gauge to services, you can do hitless rolling deploys or cannery deploys.
