How do I detect when a server is shutting down?
I have a database that keeps track of all the servers in my game. I need it to remove a server when it is being shut down so that its no longer in the database. Is there a way of detecting a server shutdown, and giving enough time to send an HTTP Post request?

You'll want to use
1 | game.OnClose = function() |
like TheHospitalDev said.
There is also a new feature called BindToClose which allows you to bind all your "OnClose" functions if you have multiple.
1 | game:BindToClose(function() |
2 | print("Starting callback...") |
3 | wait(5) |
4 | print("Done callback...") |
5 | end) |

OnClose should not be used because it is deprecated. Use game:BindToClose from now on Validark 1580 — 8y

You could try using the OnClose function.
1 | game.OnClose = function() --When the last player leaves, connect. |
2 | --Do stuff here... |
3 | wait(60) --Waits a minute, should be long enough |
4 | end |
