Summary
In this chapter, we discussed concurrency and asynchronous patterns, patterns useful for writing efficient, responsive software that can handle multiple tasks at once.
The Thread Pool pattern is a powerful tool in concurrent programming, offering a way to manage resources efficiently and improve application performance. It helps us improve application performance but also reduces overhead and better manages resources because the thread pool limits the number of threads.
While the Thread Pool pattern focuses on reusing a fixed number of threads to execute tasks, the Worker Model pattern is more about the dynamic distribution of tasks across potentially scalable and flexible worker entities. This pattern is particularly useful for scenarios where tasks are independent and can be processed in parallel.
The Future and Promise pattern facilitates asynchronous operation, allowing applications to remain responsive and efficient by not blocking the main thread with long-running...
