This repository demonstrates how to configure graceful shutdown of Network and default TaskExecutor threads in Spring Boot application.

• Java 11

• Start application in IDE.

• Create async tasks via curl:

  curl -X POST --location "https://localhost:8080/tasks"

• Terminate application while tasks are still running in background threads.

• Check application logs to see if application shutdown gracefully. Sample output below:

  *** Using graceful shutdown with your IDE may not work properly if it does not send a proper SIGTERM signal. Refer to the documentation of your IDE for more details.
