Gunicorn process keep on forking until memmory is insufficient

Question

I have a nginx + gunicorn django application. Those process never die. For some reason until no-response:

Once it runs on local Windows 10 env - It works really good, no memory leak hangs.

I think local only "fork" (win dont fork IO know) one main, but why does gunicorn process never die?

what do you mean by saying never die? Do you want to stop the gunicorn process? — Shekhrozx, May 18 '21 at 13:08
The issue is that it keep on forking the process over and over. until memory is insufficient. — flice com, May 18 '21 at 13:09

When processes are colored green in htop, it means they're threads. Are you maybe spawning threads in your app? — AKX, May 18 '21 at 13:15

The issue was:

        if qs:
            print('sql:', qs.query)
            print('explain:', qs.explain())

This evaluate all QS which is 2 millions raws .... changed to:

        if qs.exists():
            print('sql:', qs.query)
            print('explain:', qs.explain())

solved the issue.
