Hello Javier also thank you for your answer. However i do know how to implement such a long running task for a customer. I generaly use celery and send out an email with a link on completition of such a task. For simple tasks i use just a cronjob. Most of those jobs run on an separeate machine normaly.
The question is more related to gevent und unicorn. I'd like to understand what tasks/aktions can run in paralell when using gevent in gunicorn. Lets say there are some calls inside the app that return just some calculated values from db. Those calls need something about 200-300 ms to complete and doing nothing else than reading values from db and calculating some results and presenting them with an django template. I'm running 6 to 8 workers in gunicorn. If i understood the meaning for using gevent correctly, the app should be able to serve more that 8 current connections, right? Except if there are calls inside the app that block GIL (what seems to happen for xhtml2pdf), which seems to block the gunicorn master-worker. I did not change anything on the django app till now. I thought gunicorn would monkypath everything on startup. I'll probably have to investigate some time here ... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
