Go SDK Setup Conventions

• Thread the request context into the data layer. Every database, HTTP-client, and queue call on a request path must receive the request's ctx — never context.Background() and never a bare global handle.

  // handler: take ctx from the framework request
  articles, err := svc.ListArticles(c.Request.Context(), filter)
