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?

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.
