In Go, there is no strict limit on the number of goroutines that can run simultaneously, but there are practical limitations related to system resources (memory, CPU).

Goroutines are very lightweight compared to OS threads: their stack starts at a few kilobytes and can grow dynamically. This allows running tens and hundreds of thousands of goroutines.

However, with too many goroutines:

  • Memory consumption increases
  • Load on the goroutine scheduler increases
  • Performance may decrease due to context switches

Therefore, it is important to control the number of goroutines and use limiting mechanisms (e.g., worker pools) if a very large number of parallel tasks is expected.
