@ -56,3 +56,17 @@ for Gunicorn `worker-class` argument:
```
gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:1337 --worker-class sanic.worker.GunicornWorker
```
## Asynchronous support
This is suitable if you *need* to share the sanic process with other applications, in particular the `loop`.
However be advised that this method does not support using multiple processes, and is not the preferred way
to run the app in general.
Here is an incomplete example (please see `run_async.py` in examples for something more practical):
```python
server = app.create_server(host="0.0.0.0", port=8000)
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
task = asyncio.ensure_future(server)
loop.run_forever()
```
