## Intent
|
|
Producer Consumer Design pattern is a classic concurrency pattern which reduces
|
|
coupling between Producer and Consumer by separating Identification of work with Execution of
|
|
Work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Applicability
|
|
Use the Producer Consumer idiom when
|
|
|
|
* decouple system by separate work in two process produce and consume.
|
|
* addresses the issue of different timing require to produce work or consuming work
