If you are building a modern web application or an API using frameworks like FastAPI or Starlette, you need a blazing-fast server to run it. Enter Uvicorn.
What Exactly is Uvicorn?
Uvicorn is a lightning-fast web server designed specifically for Python. It acts as the bridge between your Python code and the users trying to access your website.
What makes Uvicorn special is its use of a modern standard called ASGI (Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface). Unlike older servers that handle requests one by one in a line, Uvicorn brings the power of non-blocking, asynchronous programming to Python. This means it can handle many different tasks at the exact same time, easily managing a huge number of users visiting your application all at once.
Ready to set it up?
Setting up a high-performance foundation for your modern Python web apps takes just a few minutes. You just need Python 3.10+ and a terminal!
