Concurrency in Go (Golang)

Questions that comes to all Developers is whether they are utilising the available Computing resource efficiently? 

Course Overview

The course could be divided into five parts.

Concurrency Primitives

Deep Dive into Concurrency Primitives

Concurrency Patterns

Context Package

Bonus Section – Interfaces

In the course we try to answer these questions.

Concurrency Primitives

What are the limitations of Threads?

What are advantages of goroutines over OS threads?

How do we avoid race condition?

How Channels are used to communicate data?

How do we implement timeout and non–blocking communication?

When do we use mutex and channels?

How to synchronise execution of goroutines?

How to detect race condition in Go?

Deep Dives into Concurrency Primitives

How Go scheduler works?

How does context switching works?

How channel send and receive works underneath?

Concurrency Patterns

How to construct streaming pipelines with Goroutines and Channels?

How to Fan–out and Fan–in computationally intensive stages?

How do we avoid Goroutine Leaks?

Context Package

How we can propagate request scoped data and cancellation signal across API boundaries?

Coding Exercises

Each concept is followed by a Coding Exercise.

Exercises blueprint are shared on Github.

Sample Applications

We will build
