Dependency injection in a Go application is managed using modular composition, which breaks down services into manageable components. This framework provides a structured, scalable approach to handle dependencies and application lifecycle management.

Graceful shutdown for long-running Go services is handled using lifecycle management and a signal-aware run loop. This ensures the application correctly intercepts system signals like SIGINT during both startup and shutdown phases.

Setting up a new Go application with the uber-go/fx framework involves using the provided skill to scaffold the project. It requires the go.uber.org/fx library and structures the application for modularity and lifecycle awareness.

Yes, uber-go/fx works for building long-running services like HTTP servers and background workers. It is specifically intended for complex Go applications where managing dependencies, boot order, and graceful shutdowns is critical.

Lifecycle management is needed when building long-running services that demand modularity and graceful shutdowns. It allows you to handle application startup and shutdown phases correctly using defined lifecycle hooks.

Using a dependency injection framework for Go application development introduces an entry barrier requiring the go.uber.org/fx library. It is specifically intended for complex applications, making it potentially excessive for simple, short-lived scripts.
