Leveraging Go Worker Pools to Scale Server-side Data Sharing - Shopify

What this post added

Introduced the Go worker pool pattern to the Server Pixels service to manage event processing concurrency. Implemented a fixed number of workers that pull jobs from a Go channel, processing event batches in a controlled manner. Utilized WaitGroups to ensure all in-flight tasks are completed before shutdown. This resulted in a 170% increase in event processing throughput per pod.
