Litestar Granian

Run Litestar applications with Granian while preserving Litestar startup, shutdown, logging, and server integrations.

Install

python -m pip install litestar-granian

Run your first app

Save this as example.py:

from litestar import Litestar, get

from litestar_granian import GranianPlugin


@get("/")
async def hello() -> dict[str, str]:
    return {"hello": "world"}


app = Litestar(route_handlers=[hello], plugins=[GranianPlugin()])

Start the server:

litestar --app example:app run

Open http://127.0.0.1:8000/ in a browser, or run:

curl http://127.0.0.1:8000/

You should receive:

{"hello":"world"}

Press Ctrl+C in the server terminal to stop it.

Why use this plugin?

  • Keep the familiar litestar run command while using Granian.
  • Start Litestar server integrations once around all Granian workers.
  • Configure workers, protocols, logging, metrics, and static files from one CLI.

What the plugin changes

GranianPlugin() replaces Litestar's standard run command with a Granian-backed command. It does not change commands that start another ASGI server directly.

Run the complete command reference with:

litestar --app example:app run --help
Optional event loops

The default installation uses Granian's standard loop selection and installs no optional event loop. Install and select one integration at a time:

python -m pip install "litestar-granian[uvloop]"
litestar --app example:app run --loop uvloop

On supported platforms, use the matching rloop or winloop extra and pass --loop rloop or --loop winloop.

Next steps

  • Quickstart — repeat the first run and learn what to check.
  • Configuration — choose bindings, workers, protocols, TLS, reload, and event loops.
  • Logging and metrics — see how Granian automatically matches Litestar's formatter or accepts a complete override.
  • Deployment — forward signals and verify clean shutdown.
  • CLI reference — browse every option and environment variable.
