This article explores Go's built‑in concurrency primitives—including Mutex, RWMutex, Condition variables, atomic operations, sync.Once, and WaitGroup—detailing their purposes, usage patterns, and best‑practice guidelines to write correct and efficient concurrent programs.
Go maps are not safe for concurrent access, so programs can panic when multiple goroutines read and write the same map; to prevent this you can use sync.Once for immutable data, protect maps with sync.RWMutex, employ sharded locks via concurrent‑map, or use the built‑in sync.Map, each offering different performance trade‑offs depending on read/write ratios and concurrency level.
This article, the second in a Go high‑performance series, details concurrency optimizations including lock‑free data structures versus locked lists, sharding and RWMutex to cut lock contention, controlling goroutine creation with pooling, using sync.Once for cheap one‑time initialization, and employing sync.Cond for efficient goroutine notification.
