Go Systems Programming

Pipelines

Go programs rarely use a single channel. One very common technique that uses multiple channels is called a pipeline. So, a pipeline is a method for connecting goroutines so that the output of a goroutine becomes the input of another with the help of channels. The benefits of using pipelines are as follows:

• One of the benefits you get from using pipelines is that there is a constant flow in your program because nobody waits for everything to be completed in order to start the execution of goroutines and channels of the program
• Additionally, you are using less variables and therefore less memory space because you do not have to save everything
• Last, the use of pipelines simplifies the design of the program and improves its maintainability ...
