Overview

This project is a practical implementation of the Work Queues (also known as Task Queues) pattern using RabbitMQ and Go. It demonstrates how to distribute time-consuming tasks among multiple workers using a round-robin dispatching strategy.

Key Patterns

  • Work Queues (Competing Consumers): Scale worker instances horizontally to handle incoming background tasks.
  • Fair Dispatching: Prefetch configuration ensuring tasks are assigned to idle workers rather than overloaded ones.
