A Go library providing primitives for zero-downtime restarts of applications that accept connections via TCP or Unix listeners. It implements Nginx/Unicorn-style restart strategies using execve and SIGUSR2 signaling.
Use cases
- restart a Go server without dropping connections
- graceful shutdown of a TCP server in Go
- zero-downtime deployments for Go applications
- hot-reload a Go web server on code updates
- hand off listening sockets between old and new processes
When to choose
- you run a custom Go TCP/Unix-socket server and need zero-downtime restarts
- you want Nginx/Unicorn-style restart semantics in Go
- you use systemd or Upstart and need graceful process handoff
When to avoid
- you use a framework with built-in graceful restart support
- your application doesn't accept connections from a TCP or Unix listener
- you need a maintained solution - the project has had no releases since 2019
