What are workers in gunicorn?

Question

Software Deployment

$ gunicorn -w 4 --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 wsgi:app

And how many workers should I specify when configuring the application? Why is there 4 in this case?

Answer 1

The processes in which the application runs. Their number depends on the number of processor cores, available memory, resource requirements of the application, the nature and speed of its work, as well as the predicted load.
