In system design, it is important to understand the difference between concurrency and parallelism.

As Rob Pyke(one of the creators of GoLang) stated:“ Concurrency is about **dealing with** lots of things at once. Parallelism is about **doing** lots of things at once." This distinction emphasizes that concurrency is more about the **design** of a program, while parallelism is about the **execution**.

Concurrency is about dealing with multiple things at once. It involves structuring a program to handle multiple tasks simultaneously, where the tasks can start, run, and complete in overlapping time periods, but not necessarily at the same instant.
