A Go library providing a concurrency-limiting goroutine pool that caps the number of concurrently executing tasks while allowing unlimited task queuing without blocking submissions. It offers a simple Submit/StopWait API for parallel task execution.

Use cases

  • limit concurrent goroutines in go
  • process tasks in parallel with bounded concurrency
  • submit many jobs without blocking the caller
  • worker pool for go tasks
  • throttle parallel http requests in go
  • run background jobs with fixed worker count

When to choose

  • you need non-blocking task submission with unlimited queueing
  • you want a small, dependency-free Go worker pool
  • you only need to limit concurrent execution, not queue size

When to avoid

  • you need backpressure that blocks when all workers are busy (use gammazero/workers instead)
  • you need distributed workload processing or persistent job queues
  • you need bounded queue size or task prioritization
