Research direction

Start by reading the Bind and Render APIs in the go-chi/render repository and inspect how database access and request context are currently handled. The issue would be complete when the recommended approach, including whether placing the database object in context is appropriate, is decided and documented.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Sometimes we need the DB object to do more complex work in Bind or Render... what is the suggested way to do this (putting db in context feels wrong), or is it a smell?
