Authentication system using Golang and Sveltekit - Login and Logout
Although there are pretty good session managers in the Go ecosystem such as alexedwards/scs, golangcollege/session and gorilla/sessions, we won't use any but using this great guide, we'll write our own. This is to keep our project's dependence on external packages at the barest minimum.

Sessions in Golang
github.com/alexedwards/scs is quite pleasant to work with.

What are the best alternatives to gorilla session?
This one works ok: https://github.com/alexedwards/scs

Standard library, Fiber, Iris, Gin, ... where does one even begin with writing production web apps in Go?
I'm a big fan of Alex Edwards' book "Let's Go", and he uses his own Sessions library: https://github.com/alexedwards/scs which you can find in the Authentication section of Awesome Go. So that's a great source as well.

How do you do Authentication?
Server side sessions using alexedwards/scs.

REST API + limit number of seats
Unfortunately I haven't written a cookie/session based auth flow in Golang before so can't recommend any libraries. A quick google led me to https://github.com/alexedwards/scs which may or may not be helpful.

How do you do Authentication?
I currently use a secure cookie package. This allows to safely store information in the cookie and authenticate the cookie. For csrf protection, I encrypt the random check value stored in a hidden field of the form inside the cookie. It may then be used to authenticate websocket opening.
