Dramatiq worker getting killed every often

Question

I have started a dramatiq worker to do some task and after a point, it is just stuck and throws this below-mentioned error after some time.

[MainThread] [dramatiq.MainProcess] [CRITICAL] Worker with PID 53 exited unexpectedly (code -9). Shutting down...

What can be the potential reason for this to occur? Are System resources a constraint?

This queuing task is run inside a Kubernetes pod

Answer 1

Please check kernel logs (/var/log/kern.log and /var/log/kern.log.1) The Worker might be getting killed due to OOMKiller (OutOfMemory). To resolve this try to increase the memory if you are running in a docker or pod.
