Overview
The Singleflight pattern ensures that only one execution of a function is in-flight for a given key at a time. Duplicate callers wait for the result instead of executing the function again. This pattern is essential for preventing duplicate expensive operations, caching with concurrent access, API call deduplication, and database query optimization.
