Death
A Go library for managing application shutdown with graceful cleanup of resources using OS signals.
What is Death?
Death is a Go library designed to manage application shutdown gracefully by handling OS signals and coordinating the cleanup of resources. It solves the problem of ensuring that files, network connections, and other resources are properly closed when an application receives termination signals like SIGINT or SIGTERM.
Go developers building long-running applications, servers, or daemons that need reliable shutdown procedures and resource cleanup.
Developers choose Death for its simplicity, minimal dependencies, and flexibility—it works with any logger, supports custom cleanup functions, and provides clear error handling without complicating the codebase.
