Support ASGI on Toolforge

Problem: Toolforge does not provide support for Python ASGI (Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface). This prevents tool developers from using modern, more performant frameworks such as FastAPI.
Proposed solution: WMF devs add toolforge support for ASGI
Who would benefit: Volunteer developers using toolforge, and the editing community, who benefits from new tools.

It has been two years since we requested this on Phabricator. Supporting ASGI is the key to opening up our servers to more diverse tools and capabilities. It would have a great return on investment by providing more modern frameworks for development by the community. - Fuzheado (talk) 10:47, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi folx, just reiterating an update on Phabricator by the Wikimedia Cloud Services team — the Toolforge Build Service now offers the ability to "use modern ASGI-based frameworks like FastAPI". Please note that this service is in a "beta state, which means that it is likely to change in non-backward compatible ways and/or suffer from outages and bugs". It may be worth some interested parties trying it out and leaving them some feedback. Thanks! — TheresNoTime-WMF (talk • they/them) 11:29, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
