GoFlow is a lean Flow-based Programming (FBP) library for Go that lets developers build applications as graphs of concurrent components connected by message-passing channels. Components run in parallel via goroutines and communicate through typed ports without sharing memory.

Use cases

• build concurrent data processing pipelines in Go
• model applications as dataflow graphs of components
• implement flow-based programming (FBP) architectures
• create reactive event-driven systems with isolated components
• wire up parallel processing networks using goroutines and channels
• structure stream processing as reusable black-box components

When to choose

• you want to design Go applications as graphs of independent concurrent components
• you prefer message passing over shared state and locks
• you need asynchronous, reactive data pipelines with clear port-based connections
• you want a small, opinionated FBP library rather than a heavy framework

When to avoid

• you need simple sequential control flow that goroutines alone handle fine
• your project requires strict ordering or synchronous execution semantics
• you need a full dataflow engine with visual tooling or distributed execution
• you are not working in Go
