In Go, mutex or mutual exclusion ensures that other goroutines can’t modify a resource if the resource is locked by a goroutine. This is to ensure that the process is concurrency-safe or goroutine-safe. For example, if you have a repository pattern in a web service, you want to ensure that the current context of the server has an exclusive access to the resource, ensuring that requests from other goroutines/context don’t inadvertently corrupt the data or read partial data.
