Answer 1

For those who want simple go app running as a daemon, use systemd (Supported by many linux distros) instead of Upstart.

Create a service file at

touch /etc/systemd/system/my-go-daemon.service

Enter

[Unit]
Description=My Go App

[Service]
Type=simple
WorkingDirectory=/my/go/app/directory
ExecStart=/usr/lib/go run main.go 

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then enable and start the service

systemctl enable my-go-daemon
systemctl start my-go-daemon
systemctl status my-go-daemon

systemd has a separate journaling system that will let you tail logs for easy trouble-shooting.
