Handle structured errors with errors.As
Use errors.As to extract specific error types from a chain for granular error handling.

type NotFoundError struct{ Msg string }

func (e *NotFoundError) Error() string { return e.Msg }

err := fmt.Errorf("wrapped: %w", &NotFoundError{Msg: "User not found"})
var target *NotFoundError
if errors.As(err, &target) {
    fmt.Println("Found:", target.Msg) // Output: Found: User not found
}

Propagate Context deadlines for cancellable workflows
Use context.WithTimeout to enforce deadlines in distributed systems or long-running operations.

ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 500*time.Millisecond)
defer cancel()

select {
case <-time.After(1 * time.Second):
    fmt.Println("Task completed")
case <-ctx.Done():
    fmt.Println("Deadline exceeded:", ctx.Err()) // Output: Deadline exceeded
}
