HTTP graceful shutdown
Hussein breaks down why servers need to politely close connections—whether it’s to free resources, finish pending requests or keep bad actors at bay—and shows how HTTP/1.1 uses the Connection: close header while HTTP/2 relies on the GOAWAY frame for a clean disconnect.
He timestamps every section (0:00 intro, 4:58 why shutdown, 6:46 HTTP/1.1, 17:40 GOAWAY, 23:40 wrap-up) and drops links to Chromium’s socket manager code, related issues and a stack of backend/networking/DB engineering courses to help you level up.
