Queues are everywhere; you can find them in message brokers, event-driven systems, thread pools, and to name a few.

A naive queue implementation is not thread-safe at all, which means when multiple threads add or removed from a queue, it may lead to incorrect results and worse runtime exceptions.

In this video, we start with understanding what concurrent queues are and why we need them, then write our own Concurrent Thread-safe Queue in Golang to get a deeper understanding, and then touch upon some real-world applications.

# Arpit’s System Design Masterclass

I teach a course on System Design where you’ll learn how to intuitively design scalable systems. The course will help you

– become a better engineer
– ace your technical discussions
– get you acquainted with a massive spectrum of topics ranging from Storage Engines, High-throughput systems, to super-clever algorithms behind them.

I have compressed my ~10 years of work experience into this course, and aim to accelerate your engineering growth 100x. To date, the course is trusted by 1000+ engineers from 13 different countries.

Together, we will build some of the most amazing systems and dissect them to understand the intricate details. You can find the week-by-week curriculum and topics, benefits, testimonials, and other information here
