SyftServe

Generic FastAPI server process management and deduplication

SyftServe provides a high-level API for creating, managing, and deduplicating FastAPI server processes. It's designed to solve the common problem of multiple applications accidentally starting duplicate servers on the same ports.

Features

• 🚀 Easy Server Creation - Simple API for launching FastAPI servers
• 🔄 Smart Deduplication - Automatically reuse compatible servers
• 📊 Process Management - Full lifecycle control (start/stop/restart/logs)
• 🔍 Endpoint Compatibility - Only connect to servers with required endpoints
• 💾 Persistent Tracking - Servers survive Python session restarts
• 🌐 Cross-Platform - Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows

Quick Start

from syft_serve import ServerManager
from fastapi import FastAPI

# Create a simple FastAPI app
app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/api/hello")
def hello():
    return {"message": "Hello, World!"}

# Start server with automatic deduplication
manager = ServerManager()
server = manager.create_server(
    app=app,
    endpoints=["/api/hello"],
    name="hello_server"
)

print(f"Server running on port {server.port}")
print(f"Health check: {server.health_check()}")
print(f"Logs: {server.get_logs()}")

• syft-widget: Uses syft-serve for widget server deduplication
• syft-apps: Uses syft-serve for application server management
• Your package: Can use syft-serve for any FastAPI server needs
