net

Convenience functions and wrappers around net and net/http for ...

• Timeouts
• Graceful Server Shutdowns with Connection Draining
• Healthy and Ready handlers

Example Usage

package main

import (
  "net/http"
  "github.com/mattes/go-net/server"
)

func main() {
  server.IsBehindGoogleLoadBalancer() // optional

  mux := http.NewServeMux()
  // add handlers ...
  
  // Creates a new Server with /health and /ready handlers
  // which gracefully shuts down on SIGINT or SIGTERM
  log.Fatal(server.ListenAndServe(":8080", mux))
}

Health check vs Ready check

	Health	Ready
Running	200	200
Shutting down	200	503
