Asynchronism and workers

Our information is already in a queue, but not yet stored in the database. This is due to the fact that we are not consuming the information that is in the queue, but sending it to the database instead.

The processes of recovering the data that is in the queue and that of sending them to a normalized database must be asynchronous. In the end, it's like we have two applications within the same software. The first part of the application is responsible for receiving the data, while the second part is responsible for processing the data.

Let's see how we conduct this process in the application code. We will first create a file named workers.go. Then, we will declare the package where we are working and the imports, as ...
