Go (also known as Golang) is one of the most popular languages today and is a key part of many enterprise tech stacks. Because Go's memory management architecture makes concurrency easier, many developers prefer it over traditional languages.

In this course, you will learn the core constructs and techniques of Go as well as advanced concepts of the language. In particular, you’ll learn how to program efficiently by becoming aware of the pitfalls and patterns that are commonly encountered in Go and by building your own applications.

Once you’ve completed this course, you will be able to write concurrent programs and improve the performance of existing ones, thus creating a more robust experience for everyone. Concurrency is in high demand today since it enables developers to reduce execution time of applications significantly, and Golang provides a very rich support for achieving this.

Concurrency in Go

# Overview of producer-consumer pattern

The producer-consumer pattern is a concurrency design pattern where one or more producers produce objects that are queued up and consumed by one or more consumers.

The producer-consumer problem is a synchronization problem. The producer creates items and places them in a buffer of a predetermined size. The items in the buffer are removed and consumed.

There are various cases of this pattern:
- A single producer and a single consumer
- A single producer and multiple consumers
- Multiple producers and a single consumer
- Multiple producers and multiple consumers


Let’s look at the practical implementation of each case one by one.

# The single producer-consumer problem

In this case, only one process produces the object, and only one process is responsible for the consumption of the produced object.
