Episode 62: Mastering Concurrency: Or-Done and Tee Channel Patterns

Instructor: Amrit Pal SinghLanguage: English

About the episode

In this video, we dive deep into advanced concurrency patterns in Golang: the Or-Done and Tee channels. These powerful patterns can help you manage complex data flows in real-time applications, making your Go programs more efficient and resilient.

We'll walk through an example scenario where transaction data is broadcasted to two separate pipelines—a Fraud Detection Pipeline and a Customer Analytics Pipeline—to demonstrate how these patterns work in practice. With the Tee channel pattern, we’ll split transaction data so each pipeline processes it independently. Additionally, the Or-Done pattern will allow us to gracefully shut down both pipelines when an error or cancellation occurs.

Key topics covered:
- Implementing the Or-Done function to merge signals from multiple channels for a smooth shutdown.
- Using the Tee function to duplicate data streams, enabling multiple goroutines to process the same data.
- Real-life application example: broadcasting transaction data to detect fraud and analyze customer behavior.

This tutorial is ideal for those looking to level up their Go concurrency skills. By the end, you’ll understand how to use these patterns to manage goroutines in real-time data processing scenarios. If you’re building high-performance, concurrent applications in Go, this video is a must-watch!
