How is it possible to compare ASGI framework with ASGI server?

How is it possible to compare ASGI framework with ASGI server? What the points of comparison? What the reason of comparison framework and server?

In this benchmark i see Starlette (ASGI framework) and Uvicorn (ASGI server), actually Starlette works over the Uvicorn.

How it is possible to compare them? Am i right - it's the same like compare warm with salty?

TL;DR: Yes, it doesn't make sense to compare the web framework with the server. The scopes are different.

That said... The application used to benchmark uvicorn is a pure ASGI application.

You can see the application used for TechEmpower here. With this setup, there's no overhead of the web framework itself.

The Starlette benchmark runs on uvicorn as well, and you can see the code here.

Disclaimer: I'm maintainer of Uvicorn & Starlette. - It really doesn't matter for this question, it's just to give a bit of credibility.
