ShiftLock

Security-first runtime coordination and control for Go.

ShiftLock protects who may perform sensitive work, when that work may run, and how responsibility moves safely between instances — without a hosted control plane.

Opt-in security

Advanced control-plane features are opt-in. shiftlock.New / Coordinator APIs remain unchanged. Deny privileged operations by default when security subsystems are enabled.

What it is

It is	It is not
Ownership handoff + fencing for Go processes	A hosted control plane
An opt-in runtime supervisor & security layer	A Kubernetes-only framework
A shared fabric around DBs, queues, APIs, files	A replacement for those systems
Importable as a normal Go module	A SaaS product
