How to Handle Time Zones and Sync Your Software on the server side using Go

Handling time zones is a crucial task for backend developers, especially when dealing with large-scale applications and users from different time zones. Storing transaction times in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is a best practice to avoid ambiguity and errors. A function like ParseTimezoneFromString can be used to find the user's accurate location based on the timezone header sent by the client. Testing and validation are also important to ensure the application works seamlessly for users across different regions.
