ASGI
Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface, a specification in the Python web ecosystem that implements high-concurrency processing based on the asyncio event loop. It supports WebSocket and SSE streaming, and is a mainstream deployment standard for enterprise-grade AI application backends.
Core Facts
Timeline (last 90 days)
CGI is the earliest general interface specification but has been basically phased out due to poor performance; WSGI is an optimized version built on it but only supports synchronous operation, while ASGI goes a step further by supporting asynchronous development.
New versions of Flask have begun to support ASGI, and the performance gap between FastAPI and Flask may narrow in the future, but the advantages of asynchronous architecture in high-concurrency scenarios will still remain.
This project uses uvicorn as the ASGI server to deploy the agent.
ASGI has become the standard choice for agent deployment primarily by addressing two core issues: high-concurrency asynchronous processing and streaming output.
Starlette is a lightweight Python asynchronous web framework/toolkit developed by Tom Christie, built on top of the ASGI standard.
Agent backends developed primarily in Python typically run on ASGI servers.
All Facts (10)
FastAPI is built on Starlette and Pydantic, natively supports asynchronous processing, and is based on ASGI (Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface).
