SKILL.md

Production-grade backend systems with Go's concurrency model, web servers, databases, and microservices architecture.

Goroutines and channels enable lightweight concurrent processing with thousands of simultaneous operations; patterns include pipelines, fan-out/fan-in, worker pools, and explicit cancellation via context

HTTP server fundamentals cover request handling, middleware chaining, routing, and context-aware handlers; includes RESTful API structure and WebSocket patterns

Database integration covers connection pooling, query patterns, transactions, and prepared statements with context support for timeouts and cancellation

Microservices patterns include service discovery, circuit breakers, gRPC services, and graceful shutdown; production features cover structured logging, health checks, rate limiting, and panic recovery

Best practices emphasize goroutine lifecycle management, channel discipline, error wrapping, input validation, and >80% test coverage with table-driven tests and benchmarks
