# Shutdown and Draining | Sentry for Kotlin Multiplatform

The default behavior of most SDKs is to send out events over the network asynchronously in the background. This means that some events might be lost if the application shuts down unexpectedly. The SDKs provide mechanisms to cope with this.

The Kotlin Multiplatform SDK uses native SDKs to automatically store Sentry events on the device's disk before shutdown.
