Debugging with builtin simple_server

if __name__ == "__main__":
    from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server
    server = make_server('localhost', 8083, app=app)
    server.serve_forever()

Running with Gunicorn

Using Gunicorn follows the standard syntax gunicorn {OPTIONS} {WSGI_PATH}:{APP_OBJECT}, where WSGI_PATH uses dot notation.

gunicorn example_app:app
