ef-ds/queue

Package queue implements a very fast and efficient general purpose First-In-First-out (FIFO) queue data structure that is specifically optimized to perform when used by Microservices and serverless services running in production environments. https://godoc.org/github.com/ef-ds/queue

queue's Issues

The queue contest!

We have included only a few open source queues in our benchmark tests. The queues in the tests were chosen due to their different designs (linked list, dynamic array, circular buffer, etc) and their high quality implementations. We also tested many others that had much inferior performance when compared to the ones in the tests. Make no mistake: the queues in the tests are all world-class implementations.

Having said that, a simple search for "queue" in godoc.org reveals there's many queues out there! It's easy to miss an interesting one.

We need help probing and finding strong queue candidates to include in the tests. By strong we mean the ones that can perform better than the ones already in the tests in the Microservice test.

To probe a queue, just clone this queue repo (if you haven't already) locally and create the tests for the queue you wish to test in the Microservice test source file. After that, run the tests and check the results.

Please post the results for the queues you tested as comments in this issue.

The dream goal of this contest is to find a queue that is faster than queue!

The winner, meaning, the person who found a queue that is faster in at least 5 test ranges (out of the 8), will win a glorious amount of virtual thumbs up (👍) and a sincere thanks from us!
