 You may want to install Argos in a virtualenv:

 ```bash
 python3 -m venv venv
 source venv/bin/activate
 pip install argos-monitoring

+For production, we recommend the use of [Gunicorn](https://gunicorn.org/), which you can install at the same time as Argos:

+pip install argos-monitoring[gunicorn]

+
+This way to start the server is not suitable for production, use it only for developing or testing.
+
+## Starting the server for production
+
+For production, you can use [Gunicorn](https://gunicorn.org/) to start the server.
+
+To install Gunicorn in the virtualenv, if you didn’t already install Argos that way:
+
+```bash
+pip install argos-monitoring[gunicorn]
+```
+
+To start the server:
+
+```bash
+gunicorn "argos.server.main:get_application()" -k uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker
+```
+
+There is some gunicorn’s options that you should use:
+- `-w INT, --workers INT`: the number of worker processes for handling requests. Default is `1`.
+- `-b ADDRESS, --bind ADDRESS`: the socket to bind. Default is `127.0.0.1:8000`.
+- `--forwarded-allow-ips STRING`: front-end's IPs from which allowed to handle set secure headers as a comma-separated list. Default is `127.0.0.1`.
+
+So, to start the server with 4 workers while listening to `127.0.0.1:8001`:
+
+```bash
+gunicorn "argos.server.main:get_application()" -k uvicorn.workers.UvicornWorker -w 4 -b 127.0.0.1:8001
+```
+
+Gunicorn has a lot of other options, have a look at `gunicorn --help`.
+
+Argos uses FastAPI, so you can use other ways to start the server.
+See <https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/deployment/manually/#asgi-servers> (but Gunicorn is recommended).
