initialization**: Setting up services, database connections at startup +- **Test files**: Unit tests and integration tests +- **Background job scheduling**: One-time setup of cron jobs or schedulers +- **OAuth/Authentication flows**: Creating authenticated clients (not the requests themselves) + +### ๐Ÿšซ Avoid `context.Background()` in: +- **HTTP handlers**: Use `c.Request.Context()` (Gin) or `r.Context()` (net/http) +- **gRPC method implementations**: Use the provided context parameter +- **Long-running operations**: Database queries, external API calls, file I/O +- **Operations called from other contextual operations** + +## ๐Ÿ—๏ธ Recommended Patterns + +### HTTP Request Handlers +```go +func PostLLMChatStream(c *gin.Context, params *PostLLMChatParams) error { + // โœ… Use request context with timeout + ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(c.Request.Context(), 30*time.Second) + defer cancel() + + return llmProvider.GenerateStream(ctx, messages) +} +``` + +### Background Tasks with Lifecycle +```go +type TaskHandler struct { + ctx context.Context + cancel context.CancelFunc +} + +func (h *TaskHandler) Start() { + // โœ… Create cancellable context for service lifecycle + h.ctx, h.cancel = context.WithCancel(context.Background()) + + go func() { + for { + // โœ… Use service context with timeout for individual operations + taskCtx, taskCancel :=

+ } + }() +} + +func (h *TaskHandler) Stop() { + h.cancel() // Cancel all operations +} +``` + +### Database Operations +```go +// โœ… Accept context parameter +func (s *Service) FindUser(ctx context.Context, id primitive.ObjectID) (*User, error) { + // Database operations automatically inherit timeout/cancellation + return s.userCollection.FindOne(ctx, bson.M{"_id": id}).Decode(&user) +}

5*time.Second) + defer cancel() + return s.FindUser(ctx, id) +} +``` + +### gRPC Client Calls +```go +func (c *Client) Connect(ctx context.Context) error { + // โœ… Use provided context + conn, err := grpc.DialContext(ctx, c.address, c.dialOptions...) + if err != nil { + return err + } + c.conn = conn + return nil +} + +// โœ… Wrapper with timeout for convenience +func (c *Client) ConnectWithTimeout(timeout time.Duration) error { + ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), timeout) + defer cancel() + return c.Connect(ctx) +} +``` + +### Stream Operations +```go +func (s *Service) SubscribeToEvents(ctx context.Context) error { + stream, err := client.Subscribe(ctx, &pb.SubscribeRequest{}) + if err != nil { + return err + } + + go func() { + defer stream.CloseSend() + for { + msg, err := stream.Recv() + if err != nil { + return + } + + select { + case s.eventChan <- msg: + case <-ctx.Done(): + return // Context cancelled + } + } + }() + + return nil +} +``` + +## ๐Ÿšจ Common Anti-Patterns + +### โŒ Breaking Context Chain +```go +// DON'T do this - breaks cancellation +func (h *Handler) ProcessRequest(ctx context.Context) error { + // This loses the original context! + return h.doWork(context.Background()) +} + +// โœ… DO this instead +func (h *Handler) ProcessRequest(ctx context.Context) error { + return h.doWork(ctx) +} +``` + +### โŒ No Timeout for External Calls +```go +// DON'T do this - can hang forever +func CallExternalAPI() error { + return httpClient.Get(context.Background(), url) +} + +// โœ… DO this instead +func CallExternalAPI() error { + ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 30*time.Second) + defer cancel() + return httpClient.Get(ctx, url) +} +``` + +### โŒ Not Handling Context Cancellation +```go +// DON'T do this - goroutine can leak +func ProcessItems(ctx context.Context, items []Item) { + for _, item := range items { + processItem(item) // Can't be cancelled + } +} + +// โœ… DO this instead +func ProcessItems(ctx context.Context, items []Item) error { + for _, item := range items { + select { + case <-ctx.Done(): + return ctx.Err() + default: + if err := processItem(ctx, item); err != nil { + return err + } + } + } + return nil +} +``` + +### โŒ Using Parent Context for Async Operations +```go +// DON'T do this - async operation tied to parent lifecycle +func (r *Runner) finish() { + // ... main work completed ... + + // This notification may fail if r.ctx gets cancelled + go func() { + ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(r.ctx, 10*time.Second) // โŒ Problem! + defer cancel() + sendNotification(ctx) + }() +} + +// โœ… DO this instead - independent context for async operations +func (r *Runner) finish() { + // ... main work completed ... + + // Use independent context for fire-and-forget operations + go func() { + // Preserve important values if needed + taskID := r.taskID + correlationID := r.ctx.Value("correlationID") + + // Create independent context with its own timeout + ctx := context.WithValue(context.Background(), "correlationID", correlationID) + ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(ctx, 10*time.Second) + defer cancel() + + sendNotification(ctx, taskID) + }() +} +``` + +## ๐Ÿ”„ Async Operations Context Strategy + +### When to Use Independent Context + +Async operations need **independent context** when they have different lifecycles than their parent: + +#### โœ… Use Independent Context For: +- **Background notifications**: Email, webhooks, push notifications +- **Post-processing tasks**: Log persistence, metrics collection, cleanup +- **Fire-and-forget operations**: Operations that should complete regardless of parent status +- **Operations with different timeouts**: When async operation needs longer/shorter timeout than parent + +#### ๐Ÿ”— Use Parent Context For: +- **Synchronous operations**: Part of the main request/response cycle +- **Real-time operations**: Must be cancelled when parent is cancelled +- **Resource-bound operations**: Should stop immediately when parent stops + +### Async Context Patterns + +#### Pattern 1: Complete Independence +```go +func (s *Service) handleRequest(ctx context.Context) error { + // Process main request + result := s.processRequest(ctx) + + // Async operation with independent lifecycle + go func() { + // Create completely independent context + asyncCtx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 1*time.Minute) + defer cancel() + + s.logToDatabase(asyncCtx, result) + }() + + return nil +} +``` + +#### Pattern 2: Value Preservation +```go +func (s *Service) handleRequest(ctx context.Context) error { + result := s.processRequest(ctx) + + go func() { + // Preserve important values while creating independent context + userID := ctx.Value("userID") + traceID := ctx.Value("traceID") + + asyncCtx := context.WithValue(context.Background(), "userID", userID) + asyncCtx = context.WithValue(asyncCtx, "traceID", traceID) + asyncCtx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(asyncCtx, 30*time.Second) + defer cancel() + + s.sendNotification(asyncCtx, result) + }() + + return nil +} +``` + +#### Pattern 3: Detached Context Helper +```go +// Helper for creating detached contexts that preserve metadata +func NewDetachedContext(parent context.Context, timeout time.Duration) (context.Context, context.CancelFunc) { + ctx := context.Background() + + // Preserve important values + if val := parent.Value("traceID"); val != nil { + ctx = context.WithValue(ctx, "traceID", val) + } + if val := parent.Value("userID"); val != nil { + ctx = context.WithValue(ctx, "userID", val) + } + if val := parent.Value("correlationID"); val != nil { + ctx = context.WithValue(ctx, "correlationID", val) + } + + return context.WithTimeout(ctx, timeout) +} + +// Usage +func (s *Service) handleRequest(ctx context.Context) error { + result := s.processRequest(ctx) + + go func() { + asyncCtx, cancel := NewDetachedContext(ctx, 30*time.Second) + defer cancel() + + s.performBackgroundTask(asyncCtx, result) + }() + + return nil +} +``` + +#### Pattern 4: Work Queue for High Volume +```go +type AsyncTask struct { + Type string + Data interface{} + Metadata map[string]interface{} +} + +type TaskProcessor struct { + queue chan AsyncTask + ctx context.Context + cancel context.CancelFunc +} + +func (tp *TaskProcessor) Start() { + tp.ctx, tp.cancel = context.WithCancel(context.Background()) + + go func() { + for { + select { + case task := <-tp.queue: + tp.processTask(task) + case <-tp.ctx.Done(): + return + } + } + }() +} + +func (tp *TaskProcessor) processTask(task AsyncTask) { + // Each task gets independent context + ctx := context.Background() + for key, value := range task.Metadata { + ctx = context.WithValue(ctx, key, value) + } + + ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(ctx, 2*time.Minute) + defer cancel() + + // Process task with independent lifecycle + tp.handleTaskType(ctx, task) +} + +// Usage in handlers +func (s *Service) handleRequest(ctx context.Context) error { + result := s.processRequest(ctx) + + // Submit to work queue instead of spawning goroutines + s.taskProcessor.Submit(AsyncTask{ + Type: "notification", + Data: result, + Metadata: map[string]interface{}{ + "userID": ctx.Value("userID"), + "correlationID": ctx.Value("correlationID"), + }, + }) + + return nil +} +``` + +### Real-World Example: Task Notification + +```go +// โŒ BEFORE: Notification tied to task runner lifecycle +func (r *Runner) sendNotification() { + req := &grpc.TaskServiceSendNotificationRequest{ + NodeKey: r.svc.GetNodeConfigService().GetNodeKey(), + TaskId: r.tid.Hex(), + } + + // Problem: Uses task runner context, can fail during cleanup + ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(r.ctx, 10*time.Second) + defer cancel() + + taskClient.SendNotification(ctx, req) +} + +// โœ… AFTER: Independent context for reliable async notification +func (r *Runner) sendNotification() { + req := &grpc.TaskServiceSendNotificationRequest{ + NodeKey: r.svc.GetNodeConfigService().GetNodeKey(), + TaskId: r.tid.Hex(), + } + + // Use independent context - notification survives task cleanup + ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 10*time.Second) + defer cancel() + + taskClient.SendNotification(ctx, req) +} + +// Called asynchronously after task completion +go r.sendNotification() +``` + +## ๐Ÿ“ Timeout Guidelines + +| Operation Type | Recommended Timeout | Rationale | +|---------------|-------------------|-----------| +| Database queries | 30 seconds | Most queries should complete quickly | +| HTTP API calls | 30 seconds | External services response time | +| gRPC connections | 30 seconds | Network connection establishment |

[ ] Is `context.Background()` only used for initialization/tests? +- [ ] Are HTTP handlers using request context? +- [ ] Do long-running operations have appropriate timeouts? +- [ ] Is context cancellation checked in loops? +- [ ] Are goroutines properly handling context cancellation? +- [ ] Do gRPC calls use the provided context? +- [ ] Are async operations using independent context when
