I made my hosting decisions based on the origin of most visitors and

come mostly from Europe. For American audience, I'd choose Webfaction.  
Otherwise, both of these two providers are approaching perfection in

Hmmm, are you sure they always use prefork?

I'll admit I don't have first had experience with WebFaction, but
given that they have a limit on the number of persistent processes you
can have, this would be a severe restriction as it would limit the
number of concurrent requests your overall application could handle
quite drastically, as any spike in requests would require extra Apache
child processes to be created. Thus, if you have a steady streams of
requests, you would be stuck on your process limit quite quickly and
so limit your throughput.

I could understand them using prefork for the static file hosting, but
for users own applications proxied behind their front end, using
prefork doesn't make a great deal of sense to me as far as trying to
use memory resources as efficiently as possible.

Anyone else able to confirm how they setup the Apache instance which a
users application runs in, not the main server used for static files?

Irrespective of whether prefork is used instead of worker, in both
cases there are a range of other issues that can also cause bloating
in memory. With WSGI frameworks which use yield in some way, one such
issue is where a user generator doesn't implement close() method for
reclaiming resources immediately. As a consequence the reclaiming of
resources can be deferred until the next GC cycle to try and break
reference cycles between objects.

Such reference count cycles can also occur in other situations as
well, so not trying to clean up and aid garbage collection, by
breaking cycles up front, can result in an accumulation of unreclaimed
objects until the next time that GC runs. If other requests come in
before GC kicks in, then total memory in use can end up growing more
than one might expect.

Having recently come across Graham's comments on the Apache worker vs
prefork MPM on another framework group, and being a webfaction client,
I checked with webfaction which version they use.  They use the
prefork version, so I'd suggest Kenneth look for other possible
reasons for his memory spikes in his app.

My 2c on the original topic of this thread... I've been hosting with
webfaction for 2 years and frequently monitor the resource usage on
the shared machines hosting my sites and those of my clients (also on
webfaction).  Not once have any of the machines I monitor been under
even moderate load, let alone heavy load - which to me speaks to their
commitment to never push any of their machines to the max with user
applications.  Uptime has been over 99.9% for me and their support has
been prompt and without fault to date.

Cheers,
JC

One should possibly heed my response to prior question about memory
usage.

  
http://groups.google.com.au/group/django-users/browse_frm/thread/7670886c04ac082d

In short, if you are running Django in worker MPM for Apache, you can
be subject to sudden memory increases when you get concurrent requests
against resources which chew up a lot of transient memory. Receiving a
lot of concurrent POST requests with large content data can be one
trigger if the framework reads such POST content all into memory at
the same time.

The problem is that more often than not people don't understand the
dynamics of how the underlying hosting system actually works and the
implication of using multithreading. Thus, they tend to blame the
hosting system, rather than taking preventative measures in their own
application to avoid it.

I believe that what is going to have to start happening is that the
web frameworks themselves will have to start having protections built
into them in some way to counter such problems. For example, the web
framework could temporarily delay a POST request in a multithreaded
server where there are already some specified number of requests
already running, or the POST content size for existing requests has
exceeded some set value. Similarly, where users know that specific URL
handlers will consume a lot of transient memory, they need to be given
a way of putting restrictions on the number of concurrent requests
that might be allowed against that resource or such a group of
resources at one time.

As long as people want to run big Python web applications in memory
constrained web hosting configurations, where Apache worker MPM with a
small number of processes is the only viable solution for Apache, in
contrast to prefork MPM which isn't, this is going to continue to be
an issue. The only solutions are going to be to somehow have the web
applications themselves throttle concurrent requests, or at least try
and temper the issue with hosting solutions which allow more
flexibility in defining how often web application processes should be
recycled in order to reclaim memory, or which are able to themselves
monitor memory usage and force process restarts when threshold values
are exceeded.

> In fact *you* yourself install that cronjob on all django sites.?

The cron job you're referring to:

1) Exists because if you've a spike in CPU or memory usage that
affects others on the same server your processes will be killed. If we
kill your processes the cron job ensures that your website won't be
down for too long.
2) Only restarts your instance of Apache if it's down.

A memory leak isn't the only reason that your instance of Apache could
be using more than 40 MB of memory, off of the top of my head I can
think of nearly half a dozen reasons and I'm just WebFaction's Django
monkey. With that said the memory usage related Apache/Django tips
that we've in our blog are by no means a one size fits all solution
for decreasing Apache's memory usage.

then why do you recommend that apache be restarted on 17,37 and 57  
minutes? In fact *you* yourself install that cronjob on all django  
sites.? debug is false everywhere, apache is tweaked as per your  
recommendations and static media is served through the system wide  
apache. My client had to upgrade to 80 MB from 40 MB for a site that  
is 90% admin and has at the most, three users at a time.

Purely anecdotal, but this doesn't match my experience with Webfaction 
at all - I'm currently doing some updates on a site I hadn't touched for 
a while - when I logged in to dump the database contents for development 
purposes, I noticed that my previous shell login was almost a full year 
ago. The site was running perfectly fine and within its memory limits 
for that whole time period without me having to do any administration work.

Same thing with the other site I currently host there - both are using 
the "Shared 1" option.

There are no known memory leaks in our Django stack, if you think
you've found one submit a support ticket and we'll be glad to look
into it. Every once in a while someone thinks they've found a memory
leak in our Django stack but nine tines out of ten the problem is that
they've DEBUG set to True in their settings.py.

I used to be very pro webfaction - they have huge memory leak  
problems and unless you stop and start apache once every 20 minutes,  
you very easily go over the memory limits. I now feel they are only  
good for toy sites.

Yeah, Slicehost have a nice name in the industry, though you gotta order
with some time in advance. Don't rely on them for "I need a server for

I recommend buying a VPS, and one of the very best VPS services is
slicehost.com which i really recommend!
If VPS is to expensive for you then WebFaction is the solution you
should go with.

Another +1 for webfaction.  The cheapest plan supports Django, 7.50/mo for
two years in advance, but you can get a refund for your remaining time if
you're not satisfied.  Pretty sweet deal.

Re: Django Web Hosting Service

2007-11-21 Thread Chris Hoeppner

I'm enrolled in the Media Temple Django Container Beta Testing programm,
and so far, it's an absolute killer.

They've been working close with the Django guys to make it somewhat the
"official" django hoster. The django site itself is hosted on a media
temple server.

Though they're still in Beta, and not publicly available, you could try
to ask them if you could get a container to try it. You'll need a grid
server account, though.

Good Luck.
