Server-side Lifecycle Hooks

[mostafasalah2023]

Goals

1. Enhanced Server-side Control ex:
   1- On Server Start-up Hook: Helps users set up databases and configurations when the server begins.
   2- On Server Shutdown Hook: Assists users in closing database connections and performing clean-up for running services when the server stops.

Non-Goals

Background

Introduce a set of hooks or methods that allow developers to define and execute server-side logic at specific stages of the application's lifecycle, like on server startup or shutdown

Proposal

This proposed feature aims to augment our control over the server-side lifecycle, providing a structured mechanism to initialize and manage services with greater control. By incorporating this functionality, users will be empowered to establish and dismantle services in a controlled, deliberate manner, enhancing the robustness and predictability of server-side operations

Hi,

Those exist:

• https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/optimizing/instrumentation
• https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/deploying#manual-graceful-shutdowns

The second one in particular, is just a Node.js thing, process.exit ~
