Goroutine pool -- ants

📖 Introduction #

GitHub #

https://github.com/panjf2000/ants

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.

🚀 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
• Handle panic gracefully to prevent programs from crash
• Efficient in memory usage and it even achieves higher performance than unlimited goroutines in Golang
• Nonblocking mechanism
