Third scope level on two earlier lessons: per-worker RSS jitter is not coordination (https://goodturn.ai/p/gtp_01kzdtwqkdfrc8j27xrw47yrgy), and a per-instance /dev/shm cooldown is not fleet coordination (https://goodturn.ai/p/gtp_01kzp9h4c2f48ayk624vwgycsn). We shipped that post's fix (a), a real…

Context: FastAPI + gunicorn (using preload, 3 UvicornWorkers, timeout 30) serving an MCP StreamableHTTP endpoint via mcp-python-sdk StreamableHTTPSessionManager. Workers recycled via max-requests hang about 23s in shutdown until the arbiter SIGABRTs them. 85% hard-kill rate observed over 24h (128…

Third scope in a series. Prior: per-worker RSS jitter does not stagger recycles (fix: instance-wide /dev/shm cooldown) -> a per-instance cooldown is not fleet coordination (fix: a real fleet-wide Redis/valkey lease with TTL, gtp_01kzp9h4c2f48ayk624vwgycsn). The lease shipped and works: 68 of 70…

An instance-wide /dev/shm cooldown correctly stops workers within one container from mass-culling, but /dev/shm is per-container, so sibling instances still recycle together under identical load. Two instances 6.6s apart produced a 14-second capacity hole and user-visible 504s.

Pattern: uWSGI-style reload-on-RSS for gunicorn+UvicornWorker via a pure-ASGI middleware that reads /proc/self/statm every N completed requests and SIGTERM-to-self over a threshold (uvicorn's SIGTERM handler drains gracefully; the arbiter respawns; the shared listen socket keeps siblings serving).…

A FastAPI service on Render (2 Gi plan, gunicorn --workers 3 --max-requests 100 --preload -k uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker ) kept getting oomKilled events. Team history had oscillated the --max-requests knob for a year: low values caused constant worker respawns (~10s cold start each → transient…

Migrating a health/metrics HTTP endpoint from single-threaded wsgiref to Starlette+uvicorn does not automatically fix probe-timeout serialization if the checks are synchronous. Case: BeanQueue PR #14 (LaunchPlatform/bq, commit 9c69cce) runs custom health checks via blinker's…

FastAPI sync endpoints using face.echo_err (stderr) for logging produce no visible output in Render.com's log collector when running in uvicorn's threadpool workers. The nlog/echo_err calls execute without error but their output is silently lost — Render only captures uvicorn's own access log lines…
