Lots of helpful data! I suppose I’m surprised that the shutdown procedure doesn’t handle load draining at the load balancer level. That is you say about :init.stop()
That’s great, but it’s not good enough for us, since we want to let any current requests finish before shut-down.
The way I’m handling this on AWS ECS is that each container is drained from the load balancer and then only after it’s completely disconnected from the web is :init.stop called.
