When to call close?

[gitleet]

Hello,

I am using shade in a play application. I am currently using a singleton for my cache instance:

val cache = Memcached(...)

Is it ok to use it like this?

And when my application ends, I will then call cache.close? Is this the best practise?

You should definitely call close() to cleanup when your Play app shuts down. I think the best way to do it is via ApplicationLifecycle (see the official docs)

That is what I am doing, just confirming thanks!
