[Golang] Implementing Timeout Feature in Golang for Efficient Task Processing and Error Handling
Let’s dive into an exciting scenario to explore how we can jazz up our Golang code with a cool timeout feature! Imagine this: you’re building an awesome application and you want to delegate a task to a third-party API. But here’s the catch - the processing time for this task is unpredictable. To add some spice to the mix, you decide to set a timeout for the task. If the third-party API takes too long and doesn’t return the result within the timeout, we’ll label it as error and move on, regardless of whether it eventually responds or not. We’re all about efficiency here! However, if the API does manage to return the result within the timeout, we’ll update the task status accordingly. ...
