-## Issues
-
-### Query engine leakage
-
-Sometimes the spawned query engines from Prisma don't get killed when hot reloading. You can run `task kill-query-engines` on OSX to kill the query engines.
-
-Make sure you call `.Disconnect` on the database config object when writing CLI commands which interact with the database. If you don't, and you try to wrap these CLI commands in a new command, it will never exit, for example:
-
-```
-export HATCHET_CLIENT_TOKEN="$(go run ./cmd/hatchet-admin token create --tenant-id <tenant>)"
-```
