During the development of LiveAPI, an Auto API documentation generation tool, I needed to implement a robust queue mechanism that scaled based on the number of server machine cores.
A Mutex (Mutual Exclusion) is a locking mechanism that prevents race conditions by ensuring only one goroutine can access a shared resource at a time.
To manage concurrent job execution in Golang, we can use a Mutex from the sync package.
There are two types of Mutexes in Golang: sync.Mutex and sync.RWMutex.
