+# Overview
+
+This page contains technical details for users starting Go SDK pipelines on machines that are not using a `linux` operating system, nor an `amd64` architecture.
+
+Go is a statically compiled language.
+To execute a Go binary on a machine, it must be compiled for the matching operating system and processor architecture.
+This has implications for how Go SDK pipelines execute on [workers](/documentation/glossary/#worker).
+
+# Development: using `go run`
+
+When starting your in development pipeline against a remote runner, you can use `go run` from your development environment.
+Tthe Go SDK will cross-compile your pipeline for `linux-amd64`, and use that as the pipeline's worker binary.

Review Comment:
