+## Signal Handling
+
+The server handles the following signals:
+
+- `SIGTERM`/`SIGINT`: Gracefully shuts down the server when received (e.g. from Ctrl+C or system shutdown)
+- `SIGHUP`: Reloads the server configuration without restarting the service
+
+The server ensures proper cleanup of resources during shutdown, including:
+- Closing all database connections
+- Stopping the HTTP server
+- Cleaning up any open file handles
+- Properly terminating worker threads
