Django + gunicorn timing out with POST requests with large sizes

Question

Sending a 'large' POST request to gUnicorn will cause it to freeze and eventually timeout. This is both on my production server and development server (both running Ubuntu 20.04). It just freezes before returning

[CRITICAL] WORKER TIMEOUT (pid:10000)

Django's default dev server works without issues.

My WSGI file:

  import os    
  from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
  os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE',
'djangoProject.settings')
  application = get_wsgi_application()

@MatthewHegarty Increasing timeout doesn't do anything. It doesn't log anything or give a trace. — Ashutosh Singh, Nov 05 '21 at 19:24

Try this (assuming that 180 sec timeout is enough):

Add --timeout TIMEINSECONDS \ to your guncicorn config file.
Try these nginx config file options.

Nginx config

server {
    keepalive_timeout 180s;
    send_timeout 180s;
    proxy_connect_timeout 180s;
    proxy_send_timeout 180s;
    proxy_read_timeout 180s;
    
    ...rest of the config
}
