Daphne is an HTTP, HTTP2, and WebSocket protocol server for ASGI (Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface) applications. It is commonly used as the server component for Django Channels, enabling Django applications to handle real-time communication, such as WebSockets and long-lived connections. Daphne is designed to work seamlessly with Django’s asynchronous capabilities, making it a powerful choice for building chat applications, live notifications, and other real-time features. Written in Python and built on the Twisted networking framework, Daphne efficiently manages multiple concurrent connections while ensuring stable and scalable performance.
As an ASGI server, Daphne serves as a bridge between web clients and Django applications, handling incoming requests and passing them to the appropriate application layers. It supports running as part of a deployment stack alongside reverse proxies like NGINX or Traefik, which helps manage HTTPS termination and load balancing. Daphne is particularly useful for applications that require bidirectional communication, such as collaborative tools, live updates, or online gaming. Its integration with Django Channels makes it an essential tool for developers looking to extend Django’s capabilities beyond traditional synchronous request-response interactions.
