# Go Concurrency Patterns: Context
29 Jul 2014
Tags: concurrency, cancelation, cancellation, context
-Summary: In Go servers, each incoming request is handled in its own goroutine. Request handlers often start additional goroutines to access backends such as databases and RPC services. The set of goroutines working on a request typically needs access to request-specific values such as the identity of the end user, authorization tokens, and the request's deadline. When a request is canceled or times out, all the goroutines working on that request should exit quickly so the system can reclaim any resources they are using.
+Summary: An introduction to the Go context package.
