gunicorn:tldr:5b6aa

gunicorn: Use 4 worker processes for handling requests.
$ gunicorn --workers ${4} ${import-path:app_object}
try on your machine

This command is used to run a Gunicorn server with a specific number of workers and import a Python object to be used as the application.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • gunicorn: This is the command to run the Gunicorn server.
  • --workers ${4}: This option specifies the number of worker processes Gunicorn should spawn to handle incoming requests. ${4} is a placeholder that suggests the number of workers should be provided as an argument when executing the command.
  • ${import-path:app_object}: This is the import path for the Python object that represents the application to be run by Gunicorn. ${import-path:app_object} is again a placeholder that indicates the import path should be provided as an argument when running the command. The actual import path and object name should be substituted accordingly.

Overall, this command is used to start a Gunicorn server, define the number of workers, and specify the import path for the Python application object to be used.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
