I have a flask application that I run with Gunicorn.

The application itself would ideally be run with multiple workers. I also have some data I need to consume from Kafka, but that should only be one background task.

Is there some way I can have multiple Gunicorn workers, but only have one launch a background worker?

    Gunicorn is responsible for handling http requests, why running a Kafka consumer as a worker? and what if the worker failed, will gunicorn restart this consumer? It will just replace it with another worker that doesn't know about the consumer. Commented Mar 5 at 9:36
  • Starting the Kafka consumer thread as a child of the Gunicorn worker was convenient for development, but yeah, I want to switch away from it. However, I still need Gunicorn as my entry point on account of running this in a docker container. Commented Mar 6 at 7:19
