=== "Hypercorn"

    <div class="termy">

    ```console
    $ hypercorn main:app --bind 0.0.0.0:80

    Running on 0.0.0.0:8080 over http (CTRL + C to quit)

!!! note
    The command `uvicorn main:app` refers to:

    * `main`: the file `main.py` (the Python "module").

This decoupling of parts, and being a "microframework" that could be extended to cover exactly what is needed was a key feature that I wanted to keep.

Given the simplicity of Flask, it seemed like a good match for building APIs. The next thing to find was a "Django REST Framework" for Flask.

And of course, the same machine would probably have **other processes** running as well, apart from your application.

An interesting detail is that the percentage of the **CPU used** by each process can **vary** a lot over time, but the **memory (RAM)** normally stays more or less **stable**.
