+# Graceful Stop
+
+This example demonstrates how to gracefully stop a gRPC server using
+`Server.GracefulStop()`. The graceful shutdown process involves two key steps:
+
+- Initiate `Server.GracefulStop()`. This function blocks until all currently
+  running RPCs have completed.  This ensures that in-flight requests are
+  allowed to finish processing.
+
+- It's crucial to call `Server.Stop()` with a timeout before calling
+  `GracefulStop()`. This acts as a safety net, ensuring that the server
+  eventually shuts down even if some in-flight RPCs don't complete within a
+  reasonable timeframe.  This prevents indefinite blocking.
+
+## Try it
+
+```
+go run server/main.go
+```
+
+```
+go run client/main.go
+```
+
+## Explanation
+
+The server starts with a client streaming and unary request handler. When
+client streaming is started, client streaming handler signals the server to
+initiate graceful stop and waits for the stream to be closed or aborted. Until
+the`Server.GracefulStop()` is initiated, server will continue to accept unary
+requests. Once `Server.GracefulStop()` is initiated, server will not accept
+new unary requests.
+
+Client will start the client stream to the server and starts making unary
+requests until receiving an error. Error will indicate that the server graceful
+shutdown is initiated so client will stop making further unary requests and
+closes the client stream.
+
+Server and client will keep track of number of unary requests processed on
+their side. Once the client has successfully closed the stream, server returns
+the total number of unary requests processed as response. The number from
+stream response should be equal to the number of unary requests tracked by
+client. This indicates that server has processed all in-flight requests before
+shutting down.
