Implementation

We can activate worker base on traffic of parent channel

package concurrency

import (
	"context"

	workers []*worker

}

func (p *Pipeline) Dispatch(msg interface{}) {
	p.chain <- msg
}

type DispatcherBuilder func() Dispatcher

func NewPipeline(d DispatcherBuilder, ch chan interface{}, idle uint32, debug bool) *Pipeline {
