Have you performed a graceful shutdown for workers?

Yes, graceful shutdown for workers is a standard practice for proper termination of work, especially if workers handle tasks or connections.

The idea is that upon receiving a stop signal (e.g., SIGINT or SIGTERM), workers:

• Stop accepting new tasks.
• Finish processing current tasks.
• Release resources and exit properly.

An example in Python using threading and Event:

import threading
import time
import signal

stop_event = threading.Event()

def worker():
    while not stop_event.is_set():
        # Process task
        print("Working")
        time.sleep(1)
    print("Exiting")

thread = threading.Thread(target=worker)
thread.start()

def handle_signal(signum, frame):
    print("Stop signal received")
    stop_event.set()

signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, handle_signal)
signal.signal(signal.SIGTERM, handle_signal)

thread.join()
print("Workers have exited properly")

This approach helps prevent data loss and inconsistent states when stopping the application.
