HTTP Graceful Shutdown dives into why you’d want to close connections cleanly—whether it’s to avoid weird edge cases, block bad actors, or just free up resources—and walks you through how to do it in HTTP/1.1 (using the Connection
header) and HTTP/2 (via the GOAWAY frame). Hussein even time-stamps each segment—intro, theory, deep dive—so you can jump right to what you need.
Perfect for anyone building resilient backends, this episode pulls in real Chromium code examples, breaks down the performance trade-offs, and hooks you up with related courses on OS fundamentals, Node.js internals, networking, and database engineering.
