HTTP/3: Practical Deployment Options (Part 3)
Whilst the article rightly mentions aioquic to use HTTP/3 with Python, it is only a minimal example server. Hypercorn is a compete ASGI server built on aioquic that is likely more useful practically.

ASGI webservers producing strange unmotivated random spikes of delay (seconds!) and generally only half as fast as their gevent or eventlet counterparts. Very strange.
This is interesting, and not something I've seen before. I'm preoccupied with a Werkzeug/Flask release at the moment then I'll take at look into this. Any more details would be welcome on https://gitlab.com/pgjones/hypercorn/-/issues/181

Nginx Unit – Universal web app server
I'm hoping so – gunicorn has a long-open pull request that would fix `--reuse-port`, which currently does nothing

Deploying Django when using python-socketio
However, I'm curious about the best way to deploy, specifically with regard to WSGI. I've tried using the raw eventlet WSGI server (`eventlet.wsgi.server(eventlet.listen(("", 8000)), application)`). I then start it with `python manage.py runserver`. This has worked okay, but I'm unsure about how scalable it is. It seems like the standard stack is Django + Gunicorn + NGINX. Based on `python-socketio` documentation, this should be possible. I tried django + eventlet + gunicorn, but it seems like gunicorn a) [doesn't play nice with eventlet](https://github.com/benoitc/gunicorn/pull/2581) and b) only supports one worker. Gevent + Gunicorn doesn't have this bug, but still only supports one worker. Also, I'm not sure how actively maintained gevent is. So I'm not sure how scalable either Gunicorn + eventlet or Gunicorn + geventlet is as a WSGI server. So I'm not sure if Gunicorn is my best bet, or if it's too limited.

3 cool project ideas for Python programmers
For building your API, I recommend using the Flask library. It is very beginner-friendly, and you will be able to build a simple API in a matter of minutes! Keep in mind that, for a more serious project, you should definitely use something like gunicorn to run you API as a production server.

Django 4.1 Released
Interesting looks like it might actually be a python bug. Somehow just changing from sys.exit(0) -> os._exit(0) apparently fixes it.

Serverless Templates for AWS and Python
The cool thing is that you can easily migrate your WSGI- application such as Flask, Django, or Gunicorn to AWS.

Scope of database threads + connections + sessions
Yeah, that's kind of the impression I was getting. I stumbled across a github issue for gunicorn along these lines.

Running Django with Gunicorn - Best Practice
Taking a glimpse at gunicorn's code it looks like they pretty much all do the same: 2. seems to be creating a wsgi app using django's internals, and 3. uses 2.
