This question already has an answer here:
Small question about writing a WebApp in Go,
Actually I have a working webApp that talks to an API and generates an HTML template to visualize my results,
I use gorilla/mux and serve my templates like this :
router.Handle("/", http.HandlerFunc(handlers.GetHome)).Methods("GET")
tmpl := template.ParseFiles("templates/_head.html.tmpl", "templates/home.html.tmpl")
tmpl.Execute(w, ClusterDatas)
So my html files are read by GO at each request. Is this a good way to do it? Is it possible (and better) to Get the HTML included in the Golang binary?
Thanks a lot for any answers on that.

If I understand you correctly, I don't think there's any big problem doing it that way. You could, however, parse the templates into variables outside of the actual handlers then just call tmp.Execute in the handler function itself. That way you save the need to parse the files each time. You don't need to (and can't?) load the html into the binary.
