Streaming large amounts of data in and out of your application
In command-line applications, it is crucial to handle large amounts of data efficiently for performance and responsiveness purposes. Often, command-line applications may be a small part of a larger pipeline processing data. Most people are not going to want to sit around typing out a large amount of data, such as a dataset, piece by piece.
Go allows you to stream data to your applications so that you can process information in chunks, rather than all at once. This allows you to effectively process large amounts of data, reduce memory overhead, and provide better scalability in the future.
When dealing with large amounts of data, it’s often stored in files. This can range from financial CSV files, analysis Excel files, or machine learning datasets. There are a few main benefits of streaming data with Go:
