In this talk, we’ll look at what makes QGIS-Server-Light different and why this might be of interest to you.
We’ll also examine the technical ideas in more detail and see how this approach prioritises scalability and robustness. Proved and explained by numbers and charts.
QGIS-Server-Light is a lightweight Python runtime that processes a queue as a worker. This makes runtime debugging a breeze.
Packaged in a container, such a running worker has a memory footprint of approximately 170 MB. This allows many parallel workers to be deployed, each operating independently of the others. QGIS-Server-Light starts up in under 1 second.
This ensures that, in the event of a crash, a new worker is available before you know it.
QGIS Server Light is configured entirely via the queue it does not need a QGIS project. This makes it the perfect component for scalable cloud environments.

I'm fascinated of the space between the worlds - Translation between different standards and software. And as far as I can forsee it, its a never ending story.
