[server] Use processes instead of threads
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In Python Threads are not very useful in our case because it can execute
only one statement at the same time even if multiple threads are started.
To be able to process multiple API requests simultatenously and use
the CPU cores of the machine we will use Processes when starting a
CodeChecker server.

The `worker_processes` section of the config file controls how many processes
will be started on the server to process API requests.

*Default value*: 10
*Default value*: <CPU count>

The server needs to be restarted if the value is changed in the config file.
