Description:

The Puma Web Server is currently in opt-in mode for GitLab (see [1] and [2]). With 13.0 (expected in May) it will become default.

Please consider switching soon, as the benefits of Puma (lower memory consumption and better response times, see [3]) are very welcomed.

gitlab-puma_worker_killer-0.1.1.gitlab.1 and gitlab-puma_worker_killer-0.1.1.gitlab.1 gems are already packaged as a part of gitlab package 12.9. You can switch to puma in your app config file. What do you really expect from a maintainer here?

Indeed, I didn't see gitlab-puma inside the bundle list (I looked just for puma).

Maybe you could provide a service unit and a configuration file (like unicorn.rb inside /etc/webapps/gitlab/).

As long as the other units (like gitlab-gitaly.service) hardcode a dependency on gitlab-unicorn.service, I don't think there is an easy way to switch to puma...

Arch package version 13.0.0 switches to Puma as the default server. Please pull it from [community-testing] and give it a try. Let me know if you see any issues.

It seems to work for me without any issue. Thanks!

Looks good to me too.
