Graceful Shutdown Implementation Summary

✅ Acceptance Criteria Completed

1. Shutdown Hook Implementation

  • ✅ Signal Handlers: SIGTERM and SIGINT handlers in src/main.ts
  • ✅ Phase Orchestration: GracefulShutdownService manages shutdown phases with timeouts
  • ✅ NestJS Integration: Uses enableShutdownHooks() and OnModuleDestroy lifecycle hooks
  • ✅ Cluster Support: Coordinated shutdown across worker processes

2. In-Flight Request Completion

  • ✅ Request Tracking: RequestTrackerService tracks all active HTTP requests
  • ✅ Express Middleware: Automatic request lifecycle tracking
  • ✅ Completion Waiting: Waits for active requests to complete before shutdown
  • ✅ Timeout Handling: Configurable timeout for request completion

3. Database Connection Cleanup

  • ✅ Pool Draining: DatabaseShutdownService gracefully drains connection pools
  • ✅ Active Query Monitoring: Waits for active database queries to complete
  • ✅ Connection Closure: Proper cleanup of all database connections
  • ✅ Force Close Fallback: Emergency connection termination if graceful close fails

4. Queue Job Completion/Requeue

  • ✅ Worker Coordination: WorkerShutdownService manages worker pool shutdown
  • ✅ Job Completion: Waits for active jobs to finish processing
  • ✅ Job Requeuing: Incomplete jobs are requeued for processing after restart
  • ✅ Worker Termination: Graceful termination of worker processes

🏗️ Architecture Overview

Core Components

  1. GracefulShutdownService - Main orchestrator

    • Manages shutdown phases in correct order
    • Handles timeouts and error recovery
    • Coordinates all shutdown activities

  2. RequestTrackerService - HTTP request management

    • Tracks active requests with unique IDs
    • Provides completion waiting functionality
    • Offers detailed request statistics

  3. DatabaseShutdownService - Database cleanup

    • Drains connection pools gracefully
    • Monitors active queries
    • Handles connection lifecycle

  4. WorkerShutdownService - Worker pool management

    • Coordinates job completion
    • Handles job requeuing
    • Manages worker termination

  5. ShutdownStateService - Application state tracking

    • Maintains shutdown status
    • Provides shutdown information
    • Supports state reset for testing

Shutdown Sequence

1. Signal Received (SIGTERM/SIGINT)
   ↓
2. Stop Accepting New Requests (5s timeout)
   ↓
3. Complete Active Requests (15s timeout)
   ↓
4. Shutdown Workers & Complete Jobs (20s timeout)
   ↓
5. Shutdown Database Connections (15s timeout)
   ↓
6. Close NestJS Application (5s timeout)
   ↓
7. Process Exit

🔧 Configuration

Environment Variables

  • SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_MS=30000 - Global shutdown timeout
  • DB_DRAIN_TIMEOUT_MS=15000 - Database drain timeout
  • WORKER_GRACEFUL_TIMEOUT_MS=20000 - Worker shutdown timeout
  • WORKER_REQUEUE_JOBS=true - Enable job requeuing

🏥 Health Monitoring

Health Check Endpoints

  • GET /health/shutdown - Comprehensive shutdown status
  • GET /health/shutdown/readiness - Load balancer readiness check
  • GET /health/shutdown/detailed - Detailed debugging information

Status Information

  • Active request count and details
  • Database connection utilization
  • Worker job status and metrics
  • Shutdown phase progress

🧪 Testing

Test Coverage

  • ✅ 11 passing tests covering all core functionality
  • ✅ Shutdown State Management - State tracking and reset
  • ✅ Request Tracking - Active request monitoring and completion
  • ✅ Graceful Shutdown Orchestration - Phase execution and timeout handling
  • ✅ Integration Scenarios - End-to-end shutdown sequences

Test File

  • src/health/tests/graceful-shutdown.basic.spec.ts

🚀 Usage Examples

Basic Shutdown

# Send SIGTERM for graceful shutdown
kill -TERM <pid>

# Send SIGINT (Ctrl+C)
kill -INT <pid>

Health Monitoring

# Check shutdown status
curl http://localhost:3000/health/shutdown

# Check readiness for load balancers
curl http://localhost:3000/health/shutdown/readiness
