Gunicorn

[ar-jan]

I've read issue #514 which resulted in running Datasette via systemd as recommended approach. We've also adopted this (for now), but I notice that Uvicorn says the following:

Uvicorn includes a Gunicorn worker class allowing you to run ASGI applications, with all of Uvicorn's performance benefits, while also giving you Gunicorn's fully-featured process management.

This allows you to increase or decrease the number of worker processes on the fly, restart worker processes gracefully, or perform server upgrades without downtime.

For production deployments we recommend using gunicorn with the uvicorn worker class.

We usually deploy Python applications via Gunicorn for these process management features (e.g. --daemon and --pid). Is this something that would/could work with Datasette as well?
