sharing-sockets-with-so-reuseport-in-zig

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables multiple independent Zig processes to bind to and share the same network port, facilitating advanced server architectures and zero-downtime deployments.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Multi-Process Binding: Allows several processes to listen on the same IP address and port.
• Load Balancing: The kernel automatically distributes incoming connections across all listening processes.
• Zero-Downtime Restarts: Enables seamless application updates by starting a new process before stopping the old one, with no interruption to service.
• Use Case: Implement a high-availability web server where multiple instances of your Zig application can all accept incoming HTTP requests on port 80, with the OS distributing the load.

Quick Start

Write Zig code that shares TCP sockets between unrelated processes using SO_REUSEPORT.
