Java concurrency patterns for asynchronous operations and distributed communications
In this section, we’ll explore three crucial patterns that transform applications: the Producer-Consumer pattern for efficient data exchange, the Scatter-Gather pattern for distributed systems, and the Disruptor pattern for high-performance messaging. We’ll analyze each pattern and provide Java implementations, use cases, and their benefits in real-world cloud architectures emphasizing asynchronous operations and distributed communications.
The Producer-Consumer pattern – streamlining data flow
The Producer-Consumer pattern is a fundamental design pattern that addresses the mismatch between the rate of data generation and data processing. It decouples the producers, which generate tasks or data, from the consumers, which process those tasks or data, often asynchronously using a shared queue as a buffer. This pattern offers several benefits, particularly in cloud and distributed...
