Graceful Shutdown Patterns: Ensure Zero-Downtime Service Shutdown in Kubernetes & Go

Description

Master the art of graceful shutdown patterns for modern backend systems. In this video we dive into how to catch termination signals like SIGTERM, block new traffic via readiness probes, drain in-flight requests, and shut down cleanly—whether you’re running a service in Go, Node.js, or inside a Kubernetes cluster. Whether you’re facing interrupted user requests or deployment surprises, these techniques will help your service exit gracefully and avoid data loss or client errors. Keywords included: graceful shutdown, zero downtime, Kubernetes, microservices, in-flight requests. #gracefulshutdown #microservices #kubernetes #zerodowntime #backendengineering
