Pipeline Patterns: Streaming Data Processing with Goroutines
The Power of Streaming Pipelines Imagine processing a million log entries. The naive approach loads everything into memory, processes it, then outputs results. But what if you don’t have enough RAM? What if you want results streaming in real-time? Pipeline patterns break complex processing into stages connected by channels. Data flows through the pipeline, with each stage transforming it concurrently. It’s Unix pipes meets goroutines—and it’s beautiful. The Sequential Approach Here’s what we’re moving away from: ...
