What problem does it solve?
Go HTTP routing and lifecycle management can be verbose and error-prone. This skill provides a concise set of patterns for method routing, middleware composition, and graceful shutdown to standardize server code across Go services.
Core Features & Use Cases
- ServeMux Method Routing: Register handlers using method-prefixed routes and clear precedence rules to reduce boilerplate and errors.
- Middleware Composition: Build reusable middleware stacks for logging, authentication, metrics, and context propagation without tight coupling.
- Graceful Shutdown Patterns: Implement ready/shutdown semantics and context-aware shutdown to support Kubernetes and scalable deployments.
- Go 1.22+ Patterns: Leverage new Go routing enhancements for clear, predictable request handling and path parameters.
Quick Start
Start with a minimal Go 1.22+ server, register routes with the ServeMux-based patterns, add a health endpoint, and observe automatic 405 handling and graceful shutdown behavior.
