PRACTICAL GO CONCURRENCY: Leveraging Goroutines and Channels to Build Reliable, High-Performance, and Scalable Systems.
About this ebook
Many Go developers know the basics of the go keyword and channels but are hesitant to use them in critical systems, fearing the complexity. Practical Go Concurrency is here to bridge that gap. This book systematically transforms you from a user of Go's concurrency primitives into an architect of reliable, high-performance systems. Moving beyond simple examples, it uses clear analogies and real-world case studies to build a deep, intuitive understanding of how Go's concurrency model really works. The principles of structured concurrency and resilient design you'll master are universal and will elevate your skills in any modern programming language.
In Practical Go Concurrency, you will learn how to:
l Build reliable, high-performance, and scalable systems using goroutines and channels.
l Avoid subtle and dangerous concurrency bugs such as race conditions, deadlocks, and goroutine leaks.
l Master the full toolkit of Go concurrency: channels, select, the context package, and advanced sync primitives.
l Implement essential concurrency patterns, including worker pools, pipelines, fan-out/fan-in, and circuit breakers.
l Profile, debug, and tune your concurrent applications like an expert using pprof and the execution tracer.
l Apply concurrency to real-world applications, including a web crawler and a high-throughput data pipeline.
Go’s beautiful concurrency model makes it possible to write clean, efficient, and highly parallel code. In Practical Go Concurrency, you will gain the expert-level knowledge needed to leverage that model to its full potential. This definitive guide starts with the foundations of the Go memory model and moves steadily through core concepts, advanced patterns, and production-grade techniques for testing, debugging, and optimization. You will learn not just how to write the code, but why it works, giving you the confidence to design and build the robust systems of tomorrow.
The ability to write correct, efficient concurrent code is what separates great engineers from good ones. This guide provides the patterns, tools, and expert mindset you need to master this essential skill. Invest in your craft—order your copy now and become the concurrency expert on your team.
