Below are some parameters that can be used in app.listen() or app.run().

host

E.g. localhost, 127.0.0.1, etc.

In Tremolo, :: means listen on all IPv6 interfaces, but also enables dual-stack support.

port

E.g. 8000, 8080, etc.

reuse_port

The default is True.

locks

The default is 16. Please read Inter-process Synchronization.

Note that this setting is not available in ASGI server mode.

worker_num

The default is 1.

limit_memory

Restart the worker if this limit (in KiB) is reached (Linux-only).

Defaults to 0 or unlimited.

backlog

The default is 100.

ssl

If you want to enable https, fill this parameter with a dict for example:

ssl={'cert': '/path/to/fullchain.pem', 'key': '/path/to/privkey.pem'}

The default is None.

debug

By using the debug=True, A backtrace will also included in the error message. You should disable this in production with debug=False.

If you do not pass this parameter, the default value is False.

reload

You can set this to True to enable worker reloading on code changes. Only Intended for development.

ws

To Disable built-in WebSocket support, you can set this to False. The default is True or enabled.

To disable it in the ASGI server mode, use --no-ws.

ws_max_payload_size

Maximum payload size for the built-in WebSocket.

The default is 2 * 1048576, or 2MiB.

log_level

The default is 'DEBUG' (string). For more info, please check https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#levels.

download_rate

Limits the sending speed to the client / download speed per second.

The default is 1048576, which means 1MiB/s or 8.39Mbps.

If you want to increase the value too far from the default value, ideally you should also increase the buffer_size too.

You can also apply download rate per handler using rate.

upload_rate

Limits the upload / POST speed.

The default is the same as download_rate, 1048576.

buffer_size

The maximum amount of data at each request.read(), and each “write” to the client. The default is 16384, or 16KiB.

On write, the buffer_size value is also used to determine the watermark. With buffer_size=16384, the high value of the watermark will be 4x or 65536, and the low value will be 0.5x or 8192.

You can also apply buffer_size in the handler or response.write().

In the case of response.write() (may be called multiple times), only the first is considered.

But do not passing different buffer_size each time in the response.write().

client_max_body_size

Maximum body on requests such as POST / file upload.

The default is 2 * 1048576, or 2MiB.

client_max_header_size

The default is 8192, or 8KiB.

max_queue_size

Maximum number of buffers in the queue.

The default is 128.

request_timeout

The maximum period between when the client connects, until the server receives the data.

The default is 30 seconds.

keepalive_timeout

Maximum client inactivity time in HTTP keep-alive state.

The default is 30 seconds.

keepalive_connections

Maximum number of keep-alive connections.

The defaults is 512 (connections/worker). The oldest, or 513th will be kicked out.

app_handler_timeout

The common term for this is “maximum execution time”. The default is 120 seconds.

This is a redundant protection. To make sure the task on the handler / ASGI app ends within a certain amount of time, thus preventing poorly written applications, or unwanted never-ending stream scenarios. Especially if it has not been covered by any of the timeouts above.

Example:

@app.route('/')
async def my_handler(**server):
    await asyncio.sleep(123)

    # will be killed before it even returns value
    return 'OK'

Note that the WebSocket/upgraded connection will not be affected. And will not work outside the async context (blocking calls).

server_name

Set the Server field in the response header.

The default is b'Tremolo'.
