app_lifespan_context(app) async

A context manager that calls startup/shutdown hooks for the given application.

Lifespan contexts are cached per application to avoid calling the lifespan hooks more than once if the context is entered in nested code. A no-op context will be returned if the context for the given application is already being managed.

This manager is robust to concurrent access within the event loop. For example, if you have concurrent contexts for the same application, it is guaranteed that startup hooks will be called before their context starts and shutdown hooks will only be called after their context exits.

A reference count is used to support nested use of clients without running lifespan hooks excessively. The first client context entered will create and enter a lifespan context. Each subsequent client will increment a reference count but will not create a new lifespan context. When each client context exits, the reference count is decremented. When the last client context exits, the lifespan will be closed.

In simple nested cases, the first client context will be the one to exit the lifespan. However, if client contexts are entered concurrently they may not exit in a consistent order. If the first client context was responsible for closing the lifespan, it would have to wait until all other client contexts to exit to avoid firing shutdown hooks while the application is in use. Waiting for the other clients to exit can introduce deadlocks, so, instead, the first client will exit without closing the lifespan context and reference counts will be used to ensure the lifespan is closed once all of the clients are done.
