I’m just starting to learn Sanic framework because of its fast benchmark. I made a simple hello world API, then connected it with Gunicorn. The performance was quite good, but when I combined it with Nginx, it became really bad. I’ve found out that Gunicorn processes with Nginx were limited to 1% - 4% CPU resource for each process. Without Nginx, Gunicorn could reach up to 10% for each process. I thought it was because of wrong Nginx configuration. Can anyone give me some suggestions?
