I have a Django 3.2.4 application which I am running on Kubernetes, fronted by NGINX, served via ASGI / daphne. I have a long running API call (no longer than 30 seconds) that when running, seems to cause other requests to be refused.
In the NGINX logs I see connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream and in the pods I see the liveness probe fails (because connection refused), and get Killed 8 pending application instances.
Can someone tell me what might be happening?
