push: recommendation for number of goroutines / streams

[nathany]

Apple allows between 400 to 4000 streams.

net/http2 is hard coded at 1000 streams (maxConcurrentStreams): https://github.com/golang/net/blob/313cf39d4ac368181bce6960ac9be9e7cee67e68/http2/transport.go#L409 (thanks to @sideshow for pointing this out)

In addition to streams, multiple connections can be used. From Apple docs:

You can establish multiple connections to APNs servers to improve performance. When you send a large number of remote notifications, distribute them across connections to several server endpoints. This improves performance, compared to using a single connection, by letting you send remote notifications faster and by letting APNs deliver them faster.

You can check the health of your connection using an HTTP/2 PING frame. Docs
