-
Hunch
Hunch provides functions like: All, First, Retry, Waterfall etc., that makes asynchronous flow control more intuitive. -
goccm
Go Concurrency Manager package limits the number of goroutines that allowed to run concurrently. -
conexec
A concurrent toolkit to help execute funcs concurrently in an efficient and safe way.It supports specifying the overall timeout to avoid blocking and uses goroutine pool to improve efficiency. -
go-tools/multithreading
Manage a pool of goroutines using this lightweight library with a simple API. -
queue
Gives you a sync.WaitGroup like queue group accessibility. Helps you to throttle and limit goroutines, wait for the end of the all goroutines and much more. -
hands
A process controller used to control the execution and return strategies of multiple goroutines. -
concurrency-limiter
Concurrency limiter with support for timeouts , dynamic priority and context cancellation of goroutines. -
oversight

🚦 semaphore
Semaphore pattern implementation with timeout of lock/unlock operations.
💡 Idea
The semaphore provides API to control access to a shared resource by multiple goroutines or limit throughput.
releaser, err := semaphore.Acquire(breaker.BreakByTimeout(time.Second))
if err != nil {
// timeout exceeded
}
defer releaser.Release()
Full description of the idea is available here.
🏆 Motivation

🤼♂️ How to
Quick start
limiter := semaphore.New(1000)
http.HandleFunc("/", func(rw http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
if _, err := limiter.Acquire(
breaker.BreakByContext(
context.WithTimeout(req.Context(), time.Second),
),
); err != nil {
http.Error(rw, http.StatusText(http.StatusTooManyRequests), http.StatusTooManyRequests)
return
}
defer limiter.Release()
// handle request
})
log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":80", http.DefaultServeMux))
🧩 Integration
The library uses SemVer for versioning, and it is not BC-safe through major releases. You can use go modules or dep to manage its version.
The master is a feature frozen branch for versions 4.3.x and no longer maintained.
$ dep ensure -add github.com/kamilsk/[email protected]
The v4 branch is a continuation of the master branch for versions v4.4.x to better integration with go modules.
$ go get -u github.com/kamilsk/semaphore/[email protected]
The v5 branch is an actual development branch.
$ go get -u github.com/kamilsk/semaphore # inside GOPATH and for old Go versions
$ go get -u github.com/kamilsk/semaphore/v5 # inside Go module, works well since Go 1.11
$ dep ensure -add github.com/kamilsk/[email protected]
Version v5 focused on integration with the 🚧 breaker package.
