Go Concurrency Patterns

This repository contains examples of the four foundational concurrency patterns implemented in Go. These patterns help manage concurrent programming tasks efficiently by coordinating multiple goroutines.

Patterns Overview

1. Single Producer, Single Consumer

   • Description: A single producer generates data that is consumed by a single consumer.
   • Example: A logging system where log messages are generated by a single component and processed by a logger.
   • Link to Code: logging.go

2. Single Producer, Multiple Consumers

   • Description: A single producer generates data distributed to multiple consumers.
   • Example: A web server routing incoming requests to a pool of workers.
   • Link to Code: workers_pool.go

3. Multiple Producers, Single Consumer

   • Description: Multiple producers generate data that is aggregated by a single consumer.
   • Example: Multiple sensors sending data to a central server for aggregation.
   • Link to Code: data_aggregator.go

4. Multiple Producers, Multiple Consumers

   • Description: Multiple producers generate data that is processed by multiple consumers.
   • Example: Task queue system with multiple clients submitting tasks to be processed by a pool of workers.
   • Link to Code: task_queue_system.go

Overview

Scenario: Task Queue System Description: Multiple clients (producers) submitting tasks to a queue which are processed by a pool of workers (consumers).
