litestar-lifecycle-hooks

Litestar request interception is handled by attaching lifecycle hooks to selected stages like before_send or after_exception, enabling cross-cutting logging and metrics without altering normal request flow.

Global authentication checks can be implemented by attaching lifecycle hooks to the Litestar application, applying per-route or global cross-cutting concerns with deterministic hook logic and explicit ordering.

Yes, Litestar lifecycle hooks provide deterministic interception of request and response processing for error handling, allowing you to inject behavior around handler execution without bootstrapping startup or shutdown events.

Lifecycle hooks can be composed with middleware order and exception handling in Litestar, applying safe error handling and observable side effects to ensure normal request flow remains unaffected.

Litestar lifecycle hooks are used for per-route or global cross-cutting concerns during active request processing, whereas startup and shutdown events handle application initialization rather than request and response interception.
