Django Rest Framework application with gunicorn deployment

Question

I have a django rest framework application that is using class style views.

My deployment is simple: gunicorn --workers=4 application_name.wsgi -b 0.0.0.0:8000

The issue is that it takes only 4 requests at a time. If I send 20 requests concurrently, it processes them in groups of 4 at a time.

What do I have to do so that it processes all 20 requests concurrently?

Answer 1

According to the gunicorn docs , you need to set threads parameter in order to process requests concurrently, for example,

gunicorn --workers=4 --threads=10 application_name.wsgi -b 0.0.0.0:8000

will bring up 4 workers and each worker has 10 threads to process the requests.
