`context.Context` is a standard way to carry:

• deadlines,
• cancellation signals,
• and request-scoped values

across API boundaries and between goroutines.

• Cancel work when a request is no longer needed (client disconnected, timeout, shutdown).
• Enforce timeouts/deadlines for I/O (HTTP calls, DB queries, RPC).
• Pass request-scoped metadata (trace IDs, request IDs) carefully.

• `context.Background()` — root context for main/service.
• `context.TODO()` — placeholder when you don’t have a context yet.
• `context.WithCancel(parent)` — manual cancellation.
• `context.WithTimeout(parent, d)` — cancel after duration.
• `context.WithDeadline(parent, t)` — cancel at specific time.
• `context.WithValue(parent, key, val)` — attach request-scoped values (use sparingly).

• Context is NOT for global configuration.
• Do NOT store large values in context; keep values small (IDs).
• Use typed keys to avoid collisions.
• Always call `cancel()` to release resources (timers) for timeout/deadline contexts.

• http.Client
• http.Server
