Hussein Nasser: HTTP Graceful shutdown | The Backend Engineering Show

HTTP Graceful Shutdown

Beyond just slamming the door on connections, this episode unpacks why you’d want to close HTTP links gracefully, then walks you through HTTP/1.1’s Connection header approach and HTTP/2’s GOAWAY frame—complete with Chromium code pointers, issue trackers, and handy timestamps for quick navigation.

If you’re a backend engineer looking to prevent resource leaks, dodge nasty surprises, or just get your cleanup game on point, this is your pitstop. Bonus: tons of links to Hussein’s deep-dive courses and docs if you’re ready to level up.
