📖 Introduction #
GitHub #
Library ants implements a goroutine pool with fixed capacity, managing and recycling a massive number of goroutines, allowing developers to limit the number of goroutines in your concurrent programs.
Controlled concurrency
Set a fixed pool capacity to manage and recycle large numbers of goroutines.
Panic safety
Handle panics gracefully to keep concurrent workloads from crashing the application.
Efficient resource use
Reuse workers and optional preallocated memory to reduce overhead in high-concurrency workloads.
🚀 Features: #
- Managing and recycling a massive number of goroutines automatically
- Purging overdue goroutines periodically
- Abundant APIs: submitting tasks, getting the number of running goroutines, tuning the capacity of the pool dynamically, releasing the pool, rebooting the pool, etc.
- Handle panic gracefully to prevent programs from crash
- Efficient in memory usage and it may even achieve higher performance than unlimited goroutines in Golang
- Nonblocking mechanism
- Preallocated memory (ring buffer, optional)
