What are Server Startup Hooks?

Server Hooks provide a way in which you can get callbacks for specific server lifecycle events. They are used in cases where you want to perform certain tasks/synchronize with Server lifecycle events. Startup Hooks are used to synchronize with server lifecycle events. The Deploy Service is used to maintain these hooks.

Server Hooks can be used in the following scenarios:

• Tasks that need to be performed while the server is starting up.
• Tasks that need to synchronize with global server startup events like autostart applications getting started.

A class name entry below would mean that the class is to be used as a startup hook.
