Also see CategoryTheory.Limits.Constructions.Equalizers for very similar results.

The equalizer of f g : X ⟶ Y is the pullback of the diagonal map Y ⟶ Y × Y along the map (f, g) : X ⟶ Y × Y.

The coequalizer of f g : X ⟶ Y is the pushout of the diagonal map X ⨿ X ⟶ X along the map (f, g) : X ⨿ X ⟶ Y.
