tutorial-golang-concurrence

This repository contains a series of Go code examples demonstrating concurrency patterns and techniques using Go channels. These examples cover a variety of concurrency-related topics such as synchronization, flow processing, fan-in, fan-out, and more.

Overview

The goal of this project is to provide a collection of practical examples that utilize Go’s powerful concurrency model, primarily focusing on the usage of channels to manage concurrent tasks efficiently. Each file demonstrates a specific concurrency pattern or technique, making it easy for developers to learn and implement these patterns in their own applications.

Files

• chan_fan_test.go: Demonstrates the fan-in concurrency pattern, where multiple goroutines send data to a single channel.
• chan_map_test.go: Implements a map-based concurrency solution, typically used for managing key-value pairs in a concurrent environment.
• chan_mutex_test.go: Shows how to use channels for mutual exclusion (mutex), simulating lock behavior without using the sync.Mutex type.
• chan_ordone_test.go: Illustrates the concept of ordered execution and ensuring specific operations are performed in a desired order using channels.
• chan_pool_test.go: Implements a goroutine pool using channels, which helps in managing a limited number of concurrent workers.
• chan_stream_test.go: A flow processing example using channels, showcasing how to handle streaming data with concurrency.

Features

• Synchronization Control: Learn how to synchronize goroutines using channels instead of traditional locking mechanisms.
• Flow Processing: Examples of handling data streams and processing them concurrently.
• Fan-in and Fan-out: Demonstrating how to aggregate data from multiple goroutines (fan-in) and distribute data to multiple goroutines (fan-out) using channels.
• Channel Patterns: Various techniques for utilizing channels for safe communication between goroutines.
