Description

When the application hangs during its lifespan, it becomes completely unresponsive to the Ctrl+C command (SIGINT), preventing a graceful shutdown. This forces users to resort to using the kill -9 command.

Example Code

import asyncio
from collections.abc import AsyncIterator
from contextlib import asynccontextmanager

import uvicorn
from fastapi import FastAPI

@asynccontextmanager
async def lifespan(_: FastAPI) -> AsyncIterator[None]:
    await asyncio.sleep(5000)  # Simulates hanging operation
    yield

def create_app() -> FastAPI:
    return FastAPI(lifespan=lifespan)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    uvicorn.run(create_app(), host="0.0.0.0", port=8000)
