Benoit Chesneau e05e40d19b feat(ctl): add message-based dirty worker management
Replace signal-based dirty add/remove with protocol messages:
- Add MSG_TYPE_MANAGE to dirty protocol for worker management
- Add MANAGE_OP_ADD and MANAGE_OP_REMOVE operation codes
- Add handle_manage_request() in DirtyArbiter
- Update handlers to send messages instead of SIGTTIN/SIGTTOU signals

New workers only load apps that haven't reached their worker limits.
When all apps are at their limits, returns reason in response.
Only increment num_workers when a worker is actually spawned.

Gunicorn 'Green Unicorn' is a Python WSGI HTTP Server for UNIX. It's a pre-fork worker model ported from Ruby's Unicorn project. The Gunicorn server is broadly compatible with various web frameworks, simply implemented, light on server resource usage, and fairly speedy.

New in v25: Per-app worker allocation for dirty arbiters, HTTP/2 support (beta)!

Quick Start

pip install gunicorn
gunicorn myapp:app --workers 4

For ASGI applications (FastAPI, Starlette):

gunicorn myapp:app --worker-class asgi

Features

  • WSGI support for Django, Flask, Pyramid, and any WSGI framework
  • ASGI support for FastAPI, Starlette, Quart
  • HTTP/2 support (beta) with multiplexed streams
  • Dirty Arbiters (beta) for heavy workloads (ML models, long-running tasks)
  • uWSGI binary protocol for nginx integration
  • Multiple worker types: sync, gthread, gevent, eventlet, asgi
  • Graceful worker process management
