How to use Django with Uvicorn¶
Uvicorn is an ASGI server based on uvloop
and httptools
, with an
emphasis on speed.
Running Django in Uvicorn¶
When Uvicorn is installed, a uvicorn
command is available which runs ASGI
applications. Uvicorn needs to be called with the location of a module
containing an ASGI application object, followed by what the application is
called (separated by a colon).
For a typical Django project, invoking Uvicorn would look like:
gunicorn myproject.asgi:application -k uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker
This will start one process listening on 127.0.0.1:8000
. It requires that
your project be on the Python path; to ensure that run this command from the
same directory as your manage.py
file.
For more advanced usage, please read the Uvicorn documentation.
