Lifecycle

A service SHOULD define a startup command if it needs to initialise itself (for example, start a HTTP server).

Sample

lifecycle:
  startup:
    command: ["/app/server", "-p", "5000"]
  shutdown:
    command: ["/app/shutdown", "-p", "5000"]
    timeout: 300

Field Description

startup

Startup configuration for your service

Field	Description
`command`	The startup command to be executed. This command SHOULD open a `tcp` port for incoming HTTP connections - the desired way to communicate with your service. It may be either a string, or an array of strings. If absent, this defaults to `tail -f /dev/null`

shutdown

Shutdown configuration for your service

Field	Description
`command`	The shutdown command to execute when your service will be destroyed. If absent, a KILL signal will be sent to the startup command
`timeout`	The timeout to gracefully shutdown your service in seconds. Defaults to 300 seconds
