High‑throughput Go services often choke not on logic, but on allocation churn + GC scans.
That’s where arenas come in:
•Allocate many objects “in bulk”
•Free them all at once (end of request/job)
•Reduce GC pressure & tail latency
I share 3 real‑world patterns I use arenas for:
✅ Parsing request logs without heap trash
✅ Building graphs then keeping only compact snapshots
✅ Assembling JSON responses with fewer allocations
