Show HN: RSVP is a Go library for HTTP server graceful shutdown
A Go library called rsvp provides a drop-in replacement for http.ListenAndServe that adds graceful HTTP server shutdown. Users can customize trigger signals, shutdown timeout, context, TLS, and logging via configuration options.
Background
Go is a popular programming language known for simplicity and concurrency, but its standard HTTP library does not gracefully shut down servers (i.e., finish handling in‑flight requests before exiting). This forces Go developers to repeatedly write the same boilerplate code. RSVP is a small open‑source library that wraps the standard HTTP server to handle graceful shutdown automatically — a drop‑in replacement for the built‑in ListenAndServe function. The name puns on "please respond" (RSVP) and the HTTP request‑response cycle. While trivial, such libraries are valued in the Go community for eliminating repetitive code.
