Suture is a Go library implementing Erlang-style supervisor trees for managing and restarting failing goroutine-based services. It handles failure cases like crash loops gracefully while imposing minimal requirements on service code and providing production logging hooks.
Use cases
- supervise long-running goroutines and restart them on failure
- build fault-tolerant Go services with supervisor trees
- prevent crash loops from burning CPU endlessly restarting dead services
- manage graceful shutdown of a tree of background services
- add structured logging around service restarts in production
When to choose
- you have multiple long-running goroutine services that need automatic restart on failure
- you want Erlang/OTP-style supervision semantics in Go
- you need backoff and termination policies for repeatedly failing services
When to avoid
- you only need simple one-off goroutines without restart semantics
- you want full OTP feature set like distributed supervision or hot code reloading
- your project is not written in Go
