I am facing a problem of huge memory leak on a server, serving a Django (1.8) app with Apache or Ngnix (The issue happens on both).
When I go on certain pages (let's say on the specific request below) the RAM of the server goes up to 16 G in few seconds (with only one request) and the server freeze.
def records(request):
"""Return list 14 last records page. """
values = []
time = timezone.now() - timedelta(days=14)
record =Records.objetcs.filter(time__gte=time)
return render(request,
'record_app/records_newests.html',
{
'active_nav_tab': ["active", "", "", ""]
' record': record,
})
When I git checkout to older version, back when there was no such problem, the problem survives and i have the same issue.
I Did a memory check with Gumpy for the faulty request here is the result:
