I would really like to hear from more people who use Circus in production. It seems interesting.

Tried it and I can tell you it's not production ready. It would randomly go rogue on our production servers and would start falsely detecting a worker crash and start launching more.

It took us a long time to trace it down and we quickly switched to runit and supervisor on a few servers. All of our problems went away.

Circus author here.

I am interested in any form of feedback on the issues you had. Falsely detecting a work crash sounds very weird and unprobable because Circus uses the system PID list to check on processes - so I wonder what happens in your case.
