For production you would use `fastapi run` instead. 🚀

Internally, **FastAPI CLI** uses <a href="https://www.uvicorn.org" class="external-link" target="_blank">Uvicorn</a>, a high-performance, production-ready, ASGI server. 😎

## `fastapi dev`

When you run `fastapi dev`, it will run on development mode.

INHERIT: ../en/mkdocs.maybe-insiders.yml
site_name: FastAPI
site_description: FastAPI framework, high performance, easy to learn, fast to code, ready for production
site_url: https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/
theme:
  name: material
  custom_dir: ../en/overrides
  palette:
  - media: '(prefers-color-scheme: light)'
    scheme: default
    primary: teal
    accent: amber
    toggle:
      icon: material/lightbulb
      name: Switch to dark mode

    But `open()` doesn't use `async` and `await`.

    So, we declare the event handler function with standard `def` instead of `async def`.

### `startup` and `shutdown` together

There's a high chance that the logic for your *startup* and *shutdown* is connected, you might want to start something and then finish it, acquire a resource and then release it, etc.

<div class="termy">

```console
$ pip install "uvicorn[standard]" gunicorn

---> 100%
```

</div>

That will install both Uvicorn with the `standard` extra packages (to get high performance) and Gunicorn.

## Run Gunicorn with Uvicorn Workers

Then you can run Gunicorn with:

<div class="termy">

```console
