You get a request. To handle it, you fork off a bunch of goroutines, some of them doing lots of heavy lifting. Some trivial part of the request handler fails. You report the error back to the requestor, aborting the request. But you still have all these goroutines wandering around doing pointless work for a now-dead request. Contexts are how you address that. |
