Are you tired of APIs that crawl when they should fly?

Picture this:

Youโ€™re building a batch update API to process 1,000 tasks in a single request. Each task needs to go through these steps:

  • Validate the input data.
  • Log an audit entry.
  • Update the database.
  • Notify the user.

Sounds simple, right? Well, hereโ€™s the catch: each step takes 100 milliseconds per task. Multiply that by 1,000 tasks across 4 steps, and voilร โ€”youโ€™re staring at over 6 minutes to process a single batch.

What if I told you it could be done in ~400ms?

Check out my latest article on Concurrent Pipelines in Go. Iโ€™ll walk you through building scalable APIs that are as fast as your users expect them to be.
