This document discusses pipelines in Go and how to use Go generate to automate pipeline creation. Some key points: - Pipelines in Go refer to a concurrency pattern of connecting stages with channels to process data asynchronously. They involve producing a channel, creating goroutines, and connecting source, middle, and sink stages. - Go generate allows adding comments to Go code to automatically run commands that generate additional code. It provides variables like $GOFILE and is meant for writing new files rather than directly modifying existing code. - Real concerns with pipelines include leaking goroutines, handling cancellation, and dealing with errors. Strategies for cancellation include closing the source to drain downstream or closing all stages. A
