Server Timeouts
Tip
Use context.WithTimeout when you need to enforce timeouts on internal operations like database queries or HTTP calls, especially when you want to propagate cancellation signals through the call stack to prevent resource leaks or manage goroutines. It's ideal for fine-grained control within a handler. In contrast, use http.TimeoutHandler when you want a simple way to enforce a timeout on the entire HTTP handler response, particularly when you don’t control the handler logic or don’t need to cancel ongoing work—it only cuts off the response after the timeout but doesn’t stop the underlying processing.
Warning
Be careful when using http.TimeoutHander. If automatically applied to all handlers (as part of a middleware pipeline) then it will not work when it comes to a streaming endpoint (see the relevant Cloudflare article linked in the NOTE below).
