From 8559854b4f09601920ed852b9bcfcbb55f726593 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benoit Chesneau Date: Sun, 1 Feb 2026 02:40:09 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] feat(dirty): add per-app worker allocation for memory optimization Allow dirty apps to specify how many workers should load them, enabling significant memory savings for heavy applications like ML models. - Add `workers` class attribute to DirtyApp (None = all workers) - Add `parse_dirty_app_spec()` to parse "module:Class:N" format - Add `DirtyNoWorkersAvailableError` for app-specific error handling - Update DirtyArbiter with per-app worker tracking and routing - Maintain backward compatibility when no dirty_apps configured Example: 8 workers x 10GB model = 80GB RAM needed With workers=2: 2 x 10GB = 20GB RAM (75% savings) Configuration formats: - Class attribute: `workers = 2` on DirtyApp subclass - Config format: `module:class:N` (e.g., `myapp.ml:HugeModel:2`) --- gunicorn/config.py | 30 +- gunicorn/dirty/app.py | 92 ++++++ gunicorn/dirty/arbiter.py | 215 ++++++++++++-- gunicorn/dirty/errors.py | 37 +++ tests/dirty/test_per_app_worker_allocation.py | 273 ++++++++++++++++++ tests/test_dirty_app.py | 112 ++++++- tests/test_dirty_arbiter.py | 272 +++++++++++++++++ tests/test_dirty_errors.py | 76 +++++ 8 files changed, 1083 insertions(+), 24 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/dirty/test_per_app_worker_allocation.py create mode 100644 tests/test_dirty_errors.py diff --git a/gunicorn/config.py b/gunicorn/config.py index 73264657..91132f16 100644 --- a/gunicorn/config.py +++ b/gunicorn/config.py @@ -2885,23 +2885,47 @@ class DirtyApps(Setting): desc = """\ Dirty applications to load in the dirty worker pool. - A list of application paths in pattern ``$(MODULE_NAME):$(CLASS_NAME)``. + A list of application paths in one of these formats: + + - ``$(MODULE_NAME):$(CLASS_NAME)`` - all workers load this app + - ``$(MODULE_NAME):$(CLASS_NAME):$(N)`` - only N workers load this app + Each dirty app must be a class that inherits from ``DirtyApp`` base class and implements the ``init()``, ``__call__()``, and ``close()`` methods.

Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benoit Chesneau Date: Sun, 1 Feb 2026 03:04:35 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 2/6] feat(dirty): add class attribute workers support and e2e tests - Add get_app_workers_attribute() to read workers class attribute - Update _parse_app_specs() to check class attribute when no config override - Add Docker-based e2e tests for per-app worker allocation - Add test apps: HeavyModelApp (workers=2), LightweightApp - Add unit tests for get_app_workers_attribute function - Add integration tests for class attribute detection --- gunicorn/dirty/app.py | 53
