By reset/reinit on startup, I assume you’re thinking of how you handle safely 
forking?  E.g. SQLAlchemy’s engine.dispose() post-fork

With forked workers, everything is kept separate, but forking breaks file 
handles (which includes network connections), which is why you need to reset 
things like SQLAlchemy. 

Threaded workers are a different beast, anything application-level will be 
shared among all threads. 

Generally I use non-thread-safe things as reified properties in the request 
object. 

config.add_request_method(lambda _: Http(), ‘ghttp’, reified=True)

That will create a new object per request and avoid any threading issues.

If per-request is too expensive, you could use a threadlocal, but that’s much 
more complicated.
