How to stop gracefully the actor system for an akka-http server that must be deployed.

Question

I just created my first rest server with akka-http. The problem is that I do not know how to deploy the server in such a way that I could gracefully shutdown the actor syste

Answer 1

You can add shutdown hook:

// import scala.concurrent.duration._
//shutdown Hook
scala.sys.addShutdownHook {
  logger.info("Terminating...")
  actorSystem.terminate()
  Await.result(actorSystem.whenTerminated, 30 seconds)
  logger.info("Terminated... Bye")
}
