blackbull.server.worker

blackbull.server.worker

Worker process entry point for multi-worker deployments.

Each worker is a forked child that inherits pre-bound socket file descriptors from the master, creates a fresh asyncio event loop, and runs a standard ASGIServer with those sockets.

The worker
  • ignores SIGINT (the master handles Ctrl+C and sends SIGTERM to workers)
  • runs lifespan independently (startup/shutdown per worker)
  • tracks active connections via the ASGIServer connection counter

run_worker(app, bound_listeners, ssl_context, worker_id, max_connections, stream_queue_depth=64, ws_queue_depth=_WS_READ_INLINE, disowned=())

Entry point executed in each worker process.

Parameters

app: The ASGI application callable (a BlackBull instance or any ASGI app). bound_listeners: [(Listener, [socket, ...]), ...] inherited from the master via fork — every listener this worker owns, which the master decided from each listener's own workers field. ssl_context: TLS context to pass to asyncio.start_server, or None for plain HTTP. disowned: Listening sockets this worker inherited through fork but does not serve — another worker's, or a single-owner listener it does not own. Closed on entry, in this process only: the master and the owning worker keep their own descriptors. worker_id: Zero-based index used only for logging. max_connections: Per-worker connection limit; passed to ASGIServer.
