Overview
The Producer-Consumer pattern decouples the production of data from its consumption using a shared buffer (channel). Multiple producers can generate data and send it to the buffer, while multiple consumers read from the buffer and process the data. This pattern is essential for buffering bursts of work, decoupling work rates between producers and consumers, and load leveling.
