pond is a minimalistic, high-performance Go library implementing the worker pool pattern to manage concurrent tasks. It limits the number of goroutines running simultaneously, with automatic scaling, metrics, and type-safe task submission APIs.

Use cases

• process a large number of tasks concurrently in Go
• limit the number of concurrent HTTP requests
• limit concurrent database connections
• call a rate-limited API without exceeding its limits
• run tasks in parallel and collect results or first error
• monitor worker pool queue depth and running workers

When to choose

• you need bounded concurrency in Go without writing your own worker pool
• you want a zero-dependency, high-performance pool with metrics and panic recovery
• you need subpools, bounded queues, or awaitable task results

When to avoid

• your workload is simple enough for plain goroutines and sync primitives
• you need distributed task queues across multiple machines rather than in-process concurrency
