Featured quote

ASGI consists of two different components:

1. A protocol server, which terminates sockets and translates them into connections and per-connection event messages.

2. An application, which lives inside a protocol server, is called once per connection, and handles event messages as they happen, emitting its own event messages back when necessary. — ASGI Documentation
