Go scheduler’s job is to distribute runnable goroutines over multiple worker OS threads that runs on one or more processors. In multi-threaded computation, two paradigms have emerged in scheduling: work sharing and work stealing. Work-sharing: When a processor generates new...
Prelude If you want to put this post in some better context, I suggest reading the following series of posts, which lay out some other fundamental and relevant design principles: Language Mechanics On Stacks And Pointers Language Mechanics On Escape Analysis Language Mechanics O...
One of the gotchas of using gRPC is that it was not designed to transport large messages in one chunk. The default max message size is slightly arbitrarily set at 4MB today, and while it is possible to configure, that kind of behaviour might lead to a slippery slope scenario of e...
