What is Uvicorn?
It is a lightning-fast ASGI server, built on uvloop and httptools.
Until recently Python has lacked a minimal low-level server/application interface for asyncio frameworks. The ASGI specification fills this gap, and means we're now able to start building a common set of tooling usable across all asyncio frameworks.
Uvicorn is a tool in the Web Servers category of a tech stack.
Uvicorn is an open source tool with 8.6K GitHub stars and 745 GitHub forks. Here’s a link to Uvicorn's open source repository on GitHub
