Graceful Shutdown for HTTP Server

[vidhvath28]

The current load balancer implementation lacks a graceful shutdown mechanism. This means that when the server receives termination signals (e.g., SIGINT or SIGTERM), it immediately stops processing new and ongoing requests, potentially leading to incomplete requests and loss of data. Implementing a graceful shutdown allows the server to stop accepting new requests, while still completing ongoing requests before shutting down. This ensures a smooth shutdown process and improves reliability during server restarts or deployments.

@muruga21 My approach for this issue :-

1. Add a channel to listen for termination signals.
2. Implement the graceful shutdown logic by calling server.Shutdown() in response to termination signals.
3. Ensure that the shutdown process waits for all in-flight requests to complete.
