Implementing Work-Stealing Runtimes: Building a Lock-Free Scheduler from Scratch
A deep dive into lock-free work-stealing schedulers, covering the theory, architecture, and a minimal implementation in Rust.

Exploring lock-free scheduler design patterns for high-throughput actor systems in Rust, with real-world pitfalls and performance benchmarks.
Understanding Go’s scheduler is essential for writing low‑latency, high‑throughput services. This article walks through the GMP model, context switching, and real‑world tuning levers.
A step-by-step build guide for a from-scratch caching library inspired by Google Guava’s cache. You’ll implement LRU eviction, TTL expiration, concurrent access, and observability — a CV project that signals real distributed-systems engineering skill.
Explore how Go’s scheduler uses a work-stealing algorithm with the G-M-P model to distribute goroutines across OS threads, balancing load with minimal contention and achieving sub-microsecond scheduling latencies at scale.
