Concurrency

Introduction In concurrent programming, managing tasks efficiently is crucial. One common pattern is the job queue model, where multiple tasks (jobs) are submitted to a queue and processed asynchronously by worker routines. In this blog post, we’ll explore how to implement a job queue model in Go using goroutines and channels. Understanding the Job Queue Model At its core, the job queue model consists of two main components: Job Queue: The job queue is a data structure that holds tasks awaiting execution.

Intro This article aims to summarize the key concepts and principles of Go’s concurrency model that I’ve learned. To test your understanding and reinforce your knowledge, a quiz is available at the end of the article. Goroutines A goroutine is a lightweight independently executing function with its own call stack. While not equivalent to a thread, conceptually, it can be thought of as a very cheap thread. Here’s how you can use goroutines:
