NGINX Unit
NGINX Unit is a lightweight and versatile open-source web app server that has three core capabilities. It is a HTTP reverse proxy, a web server for static media assets, and an application server that can natively execute application code in seven different languages. (by nginx)

This is great to read! Thanks for all the great input!
I check the comments next week and make sure to address the issues / ideas mentioned. If you don’t mind feel free to drop a comment here as well with your ideas / needs. https://github.com/nginx/unit/issues/945
I will work on a compression between Nginx and Unit to close this gap in our documentation.

You could try running h5ai with NGINX UNIT.

Which reverse proxy are you using?
nginx, but nginx-unit looks very interesting. I might switch a few docker containers to use it before trying to use it natively.

Easy to use docker-container for your applications
Try Nginx Unit to get away from the php-fpm complexity. It runs on http by default so it's super easy to spin up and access by itself (no need for an extra http server) or behind another http gateway as a simple proxy.

How to Dockerize and Deploy a Fast API Application to Kubernetes Cluster
FastAPI is a popular Python Web framework that developers use to create RESTful APIs. It is based on Pydantic and Python-type hints that assist in the serialization, deserialization, and validation of data. In this tutorial, we will use FastAPI to create a simple "Hello World" application. We test and run the application locally. FastAPI requires a ASGI server to run the application production such as Uvicorn.
