Step-by-Step: Diagnosing Memory leaks in long-running Python Celery worker daemons on DigitalOcean Servers
Initial Assessment: Identifying the Symptoms Memory leaks in long-running Python processes, particularly Celery workers, manifest as a gradual but persistent increase in RAM consumption over time. This often leads to increased swap usage, degraded application performance, and eventually, process termination by the operating system’s Out-Of-Memory (OOM) killer. On DigitalOcean servers, this can be observed through […]
