OK. Does the other app connect to any other external services? If you're not sure, you can check with: lsof -p $WORKER_PID Do lsof once a worker has had a few requests served, as some libraries lazily open connections. I suggest debugging problems on an instance with only one worker to make reproducing the problem easier. There should be a general query timeout for all DB/external connections: http://unicorn.bogomips.org/Application_Timeouts.html I haven't been able to reproduce the issue on a hello-world app with no external dependencies: $ unicorn -E none -c unicorn.conf.rb ---------- unicorn.conf.rb ---------- timeout 20 ------------ config.ru -------------- require 'rack/lobster' use Rack::ContentLength run Rack::Lobster.new -- EW
