Can you return from an API endpoint before a sync operation is complete?
I'm curious, if I have an endpoint that saves something to a DB and I choose to return from the endpoint without waiting for the DB call to finish, is it possible the server will shut down before the DB call is complete?
I ran into this problem in a previous project where I was using AWS Lamdas, not Next or TRPC. I didn't want to wait for sync operations to complete if I didn't need the data in my API response, but I found that the Lambda would be shut down once I returned and often my processes would not be completed.
Thanks!
