In this class, we will explore the fundamentals of concurrency in Golang and understand how Go makes it simple to write concurrent programs using goroutines and channels. We will go beyond the basics and dive into practical concurrency patterns that are commonly used to build scalable and efficient applications.
You will learn how to implement and apply patterns such as:
-
Worker Pool Pattern – efficiently distributing tasks across a pool of workers to maximize throughput.
-
Pipeline Pattern – connecting a series of stages where the output of one stage becomes the input of the next.
-
Fan-In Pattern – combining multiple inputs into a single channel for centralized processing.
-
Fan-Out Pattern – splitting tasks across multiple goroutines to achieve parallelism.
By the end of this class, you will not only understand how concurrency works in Go but also gain hands-on experience in applying these patterns to real-world scenarios, enabling you to build robust, concurrent, and highly performant systems.
