You can see more very exciting case studies of companies using Go here, didn't know until now Twitch or Facebook (and even Target!) uses Go a lot.

The main objective of the blog post was to signal that 3 more cases were added to the page you mentioned. So everyone that has read the submitted post has probably already seen the link in "we’ve posted sixteen case studies from end users around the world talking about how they use Go".
All backend systems at save a few minor exceptions are written in Go :)
This isn't true at all. Google still runs a lot of backend on Java, for example.
And their backends in C++ dwarf Java and Go backends combined.
In 2015 they were saying that the core of web search (and the large majority of Borg cores) was C++ but the rest of google3 was a 50:50 mix of C++ and Java with a smattering of Python. Nobody I knew was looking seriously at Go.
I think weighting it by lines of code is pretty misleading. You have to write a zillion lines to make "hello, world!" work in your new language inside their full-custom production environment. I prefer to think of language share in terms of resources committed.
This comment was about Twitch :'( I guess you guys thought I was talking about something else
