I'm running django in EKS (kubernetes). I have a run script that executes

exec /usr/local/bin/gunicorn config.wsgi --timeout 30 -b 0.0.0.0:8000 --chdir /app --workers 1 --worker-tmp-dir /dev/shm --threads 2

but when I check the container logs, it seems to be ignoring the fact that I told it to run more than a single thread

Has anyone else experienced this, or can see something that I'm just not seeing in my config?

TIA
