Deploy manually

You can deploy FastAPI manually as well.

You just need to install an ASGI compatible server like:

=== "Uvicorn"

* <a href="https://www.uvicorn.org/" class="external-link" target="_blank">Uvicorn</a>, a lightning-fast ASGI server, built on uvloop and httptools.

<div class="termy">

```console
$ pip install uvicorn

---> 100%
```

</div>

=== "Hypercorn"

* <a href="https://gitlab.com/pgjones/hypercorn" class="external-link" target="_blank">Hypercorn</a>, an ASGI server also compatible with HTTP/2.

<div class="termy">

```console
$ pip install hypercorn

---> 100%
```

</div>

...or any other ASGI server.

And run your application the same way you have done in the tutorials, but without the --reload option, e.g.:

=== "Uvicorn"

<div class="termy">

```console
$ uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 80

<span style="color: green;">INFO</span>:     Uvicorn running on http://0.0.0.0:80 (Press CTRL+C to quit)
```

</div>

=== "Hypercorn"

<div class="termy">

```console
$ hypercorn main:app --bind 0.0.0.0:80

Running on 0.0.0.0:8080 over http (CTRL + C to quit)
```

</div>

You might want to set up some tooling to make sure it is restarted automatically if it stops.

You might also want to install Gunicorn and use it as a manager for Uvicorn, or use Hypercorn with multiple workers.

Making sure to fine-tune the number of workers, etc.

But if you are doing all that, you might just use the Docker image that does it automatically.
