The Fan-out/Fan-in pattern enhances concurrency by distributing tasks among multiple workers (fan-out) and collecting their results (fan-in). It involves generating work items, processing them across workers, and gathering results without blocking. This pattern optimizes CPU usage and is suitable for various applications like parallel data processing and API handling. Continue reading →

The Pipeline pattern facilitates concurrent processing by connecting several stages that transform data. The implementation example includes generating random numbers, squaring them, and adding ten. Each stage operates independently through channels, ensuring synchronization. This pattern enhances scalability, resource efficiency, and flow control, making it suitable for various data processing applications. Continue reading →
