Gunicorn增加了内存RAM

Question

I have a service in docker that worked Gunicorn. Everything works correctly, except RAM consumption, which increases since the service is fixed until it is restarted.

My question is if someone knows what can be done, if there is something wrong configured in my Gunicorn or if there is a solution to increase RAM memory.

Thanks for your attention.

Answer 1

That seems to be an expected behavior from gunicorn. I too faced a similar situation where the memory consumed by each worker would increase over time. One solution that worked for me was setting the max-requests parameter for a gunicorn worker which ensures that a worker is restarted after processing a specified number of requests.
