# Server Workers - Gunicorn with Uvicorn

Let's check back those deployment concepts from before:

* Security - HTTPS
* Running on startup
* Restarts
* **Replication (the number of processes running)**
* Memory
* Previous steps before starting

Up to this point, with all the tutorials in the docs, you have probably been running a **server program** like Uvicorn, running a **single process**.

## Caveat

If you need to perform heavy background computation and you don't necessarily need it to be run by the same process (for example, you don't need to share memory, variables, etc), you might benefit from using other bigger tools like <a href="https://docs.celeryq.dev" class="external-link" target="_blank">Celery</a>.

And then, right after the `yield`, we unload the model. This code will be executed **after** the application **finishes handling requests**, right before the *shutdown*. This could, for example, release resources like memory or a GPU.

!!! tip
    The `shutdown` would happen when you are **stopping** the application.

    Maybe you need to start a new version, or you just got tired of running it. 🤷

### Lifespan function

This was changed in version 0.110.0 to fix unhandled memory consumption from forwarded exceptions without a handler (internal server errors), and to make it consistent with the behavior of regular Python code.

### Background Tasks and Dependencies with `yield`, Technical Details

das Programm nun Dinge in den Arbeitsspeicher lädt, zum Beispiel ein Modell für maschinelles Lernen in einer Variablen oder den Inhalt einer großen Datei in einer Variablen, verbraucht das alles **einen Teil des Arbeitsspeichers (RAM – Random Access Memory)** des Servers.

Und mehrere Prozesse teilen sich normalerweise keinen Speicher. Das bedeutet, dass jeder laufende Prozess seine eigenen Dinge, eigenen Variablen und eigenen Speicher hat. Und wenn Sie in Ihrem Code viel Speicher verbrauchen,...
