Hi,
I have a Python script that I want to deploy as an app on DigitalOcean. My main concern is whether the App Platform will ensure the app is constantly running because I’m using the script as a WebSocket server. The script needs to always be running on the server.
I’m deploying it using the following command:
uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 10000
Can anyone explain how I can achieve this?

Heya, @amiladeshan
I believe a similar question was asked in the community which you can check here:
Services that you run on the App Platform are exposed via app domains on port 443/HTTPS. So you should also use the wss:// scheme when connecting. This is not necessarily the same port as you would specify that your service is listening on internally.
Hope that this helps!
Heya,
The short answer is yes, it will do it for you. The a bit longer answer you can check in the mentioned discussion.
