run.Group is a small Go library providing a universal mechanism to manage goroutine lifecycles. Actors are added as execute/interrupt function pairs, and Run orchestrates concurrent execution with well-defined shutdown semantics.

Use cases

  • manage goroutine lifecycles in Go
  • gracefully shut down an HTTP server on exit
  • orchestrate multiple background workers as a unit
  • run components in func main with clean teardown
  • cancel goroutines via context when one exits

When to choose

  • you need coordinated startup and shutdown of multiple goroutines
  • you want a smaller API than errgroup or tomb without context requirements
  • you're wiring long-running services in a main function

When to avoid

  • you only need simple fire-and-forget goroutines
  • you need staged shutdown semantics built in
  • you're not writing Go
