I am facing an issue with Kong CE.
I have a setup where 1 nginx workers (out of 4 worker processes) utilizes 100% CPU and never recovers. This issue then further worsen when all 4 worker process consume 100% CPU and then make kong not operational. Has any one here faced the same issue?
Kong version : 1.0.3
Number of nginx workers : 4

Yes, it’s a possibility. I think the fix for that was pulled in Kong 1.3
