# Shutdown and Draining | Sentry for Kotlin Multiplatform

By default the SDK sends out events over the network on a background thread. This means that some events might be lost if the application shuts down unexpectedly. The SDK provides mechanisms to cope with this.

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