In this episode of The Backend Engineering Show, Hussein Nasser walks you through why and how to shut down HTTP connections gracefully—preventing weird errors, blocking misbehaving clients, and freeing up resources. You’ll see timestamped deep dives into HTTP/1.1’s Connection header approach and HTTP/2’s GOAWAY frame, plus discussions on cost and implementation details.
He also fires over all the links you need: the full YouTube video, Chromium source & issue trackers, and a stash of backend-boosting courses (Node.js internals, networking, databases, NGINX, Python) along with ways to support the channel or snag affiliate tools.
