Support for ASGI?

Hi, the main example for Toolforge is for using Python/Flask via WSGI with Kubernetes. Is there support for ASGI (Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface) services, such as FastAPI and Uvicorn? I couldn't find any examples of services running with ASGI, so that's why I ask. Thanks. - Fuzheado (talk) 11:12, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

The current python specific tooling in the Toolforge Kubernetes cluster (and grid engine actually) is focused on hosting WSGI services as you note. This is the first time I have personally heard someone asking about the competing ASGI standard. It would be currently possible to deploy an ASGI service on the Kubernetes cluster via a manually created Deployment. -- BryanDavis (talk) 18:17, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Thanks BryanDavis. I created a Phabricator task here in case it's something we can discuss and see if there is long term support for. task T296729 - Fuzheado (talk) 13:35, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

We have now beta support for buildpack-based toolforge images, that will allow you to use asgi (or any python webserver of your choosing), you can have a try, you can specify the command to start your webservice (ex. asgi/gunicorn/...) in the procfile https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Build_Service#Procfile David Caro (talk) 08:36, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Improvements to the Toolforge docs navigation

Hello, as part of a technical documentation project to improve the overall navigation of Cloud Services docs, I am proposing a new navigation menu for the Toolforge user docs. For additional details, and how to provide your feedback on my proposed revisions, see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T341364. Thanks! Triciaburmeister (talk) 20:58, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
