Go + OpenAI Responses: Connection Pooling and Timeout Budgets from HTTP/2 Reuse to Error-Budget Control

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 01:13:12 +0000

When Go services call the OpenAI Responses API in production, the real failures are rarely about model quality. Most incidents come from transport instability: weak connection pooling, conflicting timeout layers, and retry storms.

This guide gives you a practical baseline: HTTP/2 reuse, layered timeout budgets, bounded retries, and error-budget driven operations.
