What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A Go library for building monitorable binaries that support graceful zero-downtime restarts and self-upgrading. It uses a small master process to exchange listening sockets with a child process, playing nicely with standard process managers like systemd and supervisor.
Use cases
- self-upgrading go binaries
- zero downtime restarts for go servers
- graceful restart without dropping connections
- hot swap binary under systemd
- auto-update application binary from http url
When to avoid
- your application is not a Go binary
- you don't need graceful restarts or self-upgrading
- you prefer external orchestration tools to handle upgrades
