Tebeka Shorts: Detecting Race Conditions in Go

Welcome to our Tebeka Shorts series, episode 34! A series of short videos surrounding features in the GO language taught by Miki Tebeka. -- Watch now to discover how to use the 'go test -race' command to detect race conditions and learn the importance of addressing these issues with techniques like mutexes or atomic operations. -- In this video, Miki focuses on race conditions in Go programming. The video throws insight on how to detect race conditions with the -race flag and why it’s not a good idea to use it in production due to performance considerations including increase in memory usage and execution time. He highlights the challenges posed by concurrent goroutines accessing shared resources without proper synchronization. He recommends to run tests with the -race flag during development and testing but not in production or QA environments.

Things you will learn in this episode:
- Use the -race flag to detect race conditions.
- Understanding how a race condition occurs when multiple goroutines access shared resources concurrently without proper synchronization.
