The migration guide advises: "When a grace period is configured, upon shutdown, the web server will no longer permit new requests and will wait for up to the grace period for active requests to complete." https://spring.io/blog/2020/05/15/spring-boot-2-3-0-available-now
While this is certainly a nice feature, but could you add any reference to where this feature is documented? I mean, how do you configure that grace period? I could not find anything in the spring docs that mentions either "grace" or "shutdown" keywords...

Where did you look? There are 13 occurrences of "grace" in the reference documentation and 12 occurrences of "graceful". The most relevant of these is for 4.8 Graceful shutdown.

Ok thanks for clarification. That's certainly sufficient. Maybe it was a browser caching issue, or I accidentally looked at the wrong spring version. Anyways a direct link in the migration guide would not harm ;)

Thanks for the suggestion. There are more details in the release notes that are linked to from the intro in the blog post. I've added a link from the release notes to the relevant section of the reference documentation.
