Goroutines: Lightweight Concurrency

Go (Golang) for Cloud-Native Microservices

The Core of Go Concurrency

A Goroutine is a lightweight thread managed by the Go runtime. Creating one is as simple as adding the go keyword.

go func process() { fmt.Println("Processing...") }

func main() { go process() // Runs in the background fmt.Println("Main continues") }

You can spawn millions of Goroutines without crashing your system. This is why Go is perfect for high-traffic microservices.
