I have web application written in Flask. As suggested by everyone, I can't use Flask in production. So I thought of Gunicorn with Flask.

In Flask application I am loading some Machine Learning models. These are of size 8GB collectively. Concurrency of my web application can go upto 1000 requests. And the RAM of machine is 15GB.
So what is the best way to run this application?

gunicorn flask machine-learning python

The best thing to do is to use pre-fork mode (preload_app=True). This will initialize your code in a "master" process and then simply fork off worker processes to handle requests. If you are running on linux and assuming your model is read-only, the OS is smart enough to reuse the physical memory amongst all the processes.
