gosd

go-schedulable-dispatcher (gosd), is a library for scheduling when to dispatch a message to a channel.

Implementation

The implementation provides an interactive API to handle scheduling messages with a dispatcher. Messages are ingested and processed into a heap based priority queue. Order is not guaranteed by default when messages have the same scheduled time, but can be changed through the config. By guaranteeing order, performance will be slightly worse. If strict-ordering isn't critical to your application, it's recommended to keep the default setting.

Example

// create instance of dispatcher
dispatcher, err := gosd.NewDispatcher[string](&gosd.DispatcherConfig{
    IngressChannelSize:  100,
    DispatchChannelSize: 100,
    MaxMessages:         100,
    GuaranteeOrder:      false,
})
checkErr(err)

// spawn process
go dispatcher.Start()

// schedule a message
dispatcher.IngressChannel() <- &gosd.ScheduledMessage[string]{
    At:      time.Now().Add(1 * time.Second),
    Message: "Hello World in 1 second!",
}

// wait for the message
msg := <-dispatcher.DispatchChannel()

fmt.Println(msg)
// Hello World in 1 second!

// shutdown without deadline
dispatcher.Shutdown(context.Background(), false)

Tested with Go 1.19 and 1000 messages per iteration.
