Uvicorn
In plain terms
A lightning-fast ASGI server for async Python apps.
Going deeper
Uvicorn runs asynchronous Python web frameworks (ASGI) like FastAPI, handling concurrent connections efficiently. It's built for async workloads.
Under the hood
ASGI (vs. WSGI) enables async and websockets; often paired with Gunicorn for process management.
Examples
FastAPI, async APIs, websockets, Starlette apps.
Think of it like...
Like a high-speed dispatcher built for handling many simultaneous calls.
