Is there anyway that this could be something like:

() => {
  server.close();
  process.exit(0);
}

Hello. Why does the introducing of this change take so long? :( It seems not to be a big deal, but it should be helpful for running Next app in Kubernetes cluster.

What do you think about these listeners being omitted when an environment variable is present and instead adding custom handling for this in _document?

This would allow more control over calling process.exit() instead of relying on an arbitrary time value. e.g.

if (!process.env.NEXT_MANUAL_SIGTERM) {
  process.on('SIGTERM', () => process.exit(0))
}

// pages/_document.js

if (process.env.NEXT_MANUAL_SIGTERM) {
  // this should be added in your custom _document 
  process.on('SIGTERM', () => {
    console.log('cleaning up')
    process.exit(0)
  })
}

love this, we would like to overwrite this to close database connection ...

Handling correctly SIGTERM to gracefully shutdown the next server should be a day 1 mandatory feature.

It's amazing that this is still not supported and that the only option to go with is a customized server, loosing some benefit of next (optimization)

@leerob Bro you got any ideas as to why this issue is still stale? Most of us are happy to help if there's something required from the community.

@sidwebworks we're definitely open to landing this change seems this PR has gone stale so if you would like to open a fresh one implementing the change requested here #29959 (comment) that would be great.
