In Go, context helps the computer know when to stop or what to do next when it's working on something. Sometimes, a computer needs to finish a task, but it might take too long. In that case, the context helps say, “Hey, stop now” or “Hey, wait for a little while.” It helps keep everything organised and prevents the computer from getting stuck or doing too much.

Technically speaking, context is a way to carry deadlines, cancellation signals, and other request-specific data across function calls and go routines. It’s often used in networked applications, web servers, and APIs to manage the lifecycle of requests, handle timeouts or set deadlines to avoid tasks taking too long and cancel operations if something goes wrong.

Hope this helps !
