A Golang WorkerPool for distributed tasks

Overview

Go's implementation of web server already uses go routines to run handlers. However, it is not possible to run multiple handlers simultaneously. The WorkerPool is a simple implementation of a worker pool that can be used to run multiple handlers in parallel.

This is a simple Project which provides a way for the web server to provide instant response but process the heavy work in parallel in the background.

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/trapper99/workerpool-webserver.git

cd workerpool-webserver

2. Run the server

go run ./server/main.go

3. Run the client to test it

go run ./client/main.go

The server will print out the status of the server and the client will print out the status of the client.
