Introduction I have been working on Golang for quite a time now. I explored a lot of features. The few that caught up my eye was 'Scalability' & 'Concurrency'. Scalability & Concurrency have been some of the major objectives behind the design of Golang. Let's dive in a bit. Threads A thread is the unit of execution within a process. A process can have anywhere from just one thread to many threads. On a machine, we have multiple processes running and in these processes, we have independent or dependent threads aggregating computations. Contextually, these threads are further broken down into two types, namely User-Level Threads and Kernel Level Threads . The basic difference between these threads is that the kernel-level threads are managed, operated, and scheduled by the operating system(kernel), and user-level threads are managed, operated, and scheduled by the application layer. Just to have more understanding about them, let's list dow
