  Different ways of handling concurrent job in GoLang

GoLang provides very good support of concurrency and the way to make some code to run concurrent is pretty simple and straightforward. Adding a simple go before a normal function call will make the function call asynchronous.In real cases normally people would concurrently run some jobs to improve the speed and efficiency. One important part of running jobs concurrently is about aggregating results so that the consequent function call would be able to proceed. There are multiple ways handling this scenarios.One of them is using WaitGroup from sync package. The pattern is like:var wg sync.WaitG...

  Demo on creating worker pool in GoLang

A worker pool is a pool where a specified number of workers(usually goroutine) created and run to pick up tasks. This can allow multiple tasks to be ran at the same time while keeping the number of workers a fixed number to avoid overuse of resource in the program.There are usually two approaches of creating worker pool.One is with fixed number of workers pre-createdOne is creating worker when needed until the max number of workers createdIn this post, we will cover the demonstration of creating fixed number of workers pre-ahead. This approach is usually used when one knows there are lots of t...
