Hi folks,

I've been putting a lot of work into Uvicorn lately.
It's an ASGI server, similar to Daphne, and can be used as the server to run Django channels (amongst other things).


It's got lots of nice behavior around resource limiting, graceful restarts, support for pypy and windows, fast uvloop/httptools or wsproto/wsaccel options for cpython, etc...

I think we're getting towards the point that it might be worth adding alternate servers to the official Django channels documentation,
but I'd like to get a bit more feedback from folks using the server for channels, on if there are any integration issues that I'm not aware of.

(I expect that most folks using uvicorn at the moment are using it with API Star, rather than channels.)

There's also another ASGI webserver, Hypercorn...


I'd also be keen to get any feedback from folks running django channels with either `uvicorn` or `hypercorn`.
