While working on an application that required executing a command to run a blocking program, such as a TCP/HTTP server, I encountered an interesting challenge. I needed a way to stop the application and its child processes when a signal was sent to the main program, such as SIGINT (Ctrl+C) or SIGTERM. This blog post shares my journey and the solutions I found to manage processes effectively in a Go application, focusing on Linux environments.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour broke records, hearts, and the Internet itself. Even if you're not a Swiftie, web developers and QAs can learn many lessons from this event. Marcus Merrell explains.

Releasing software is often a sequence of repetitive activities, including critical quality gates to assure the right version, configuration, and scope are deployable and releasable. In those critical moments, we want our release quality and risks to be predictable against expected outcomes and behaviors – we want to mitigate any potential risks associated with new changes.
