Deploying flask based REST service - works in development mode, crashes when launched by uvicorn.
I've developed a REST service that uses flask and runs in flask's development environment without issue. It is installed in a ArcGIS python clone, using the arcgis, arcpy, flask packages. In development mode I see the following. Note it responds properly with a 200 response when queried by a client.
I then try running the app using the only production WSGI server available via ArcGIS Pro's Package Manager. I get the following error.
(arcgispro-py3-clone-3) C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\ESRI\conda\envs\arcgispro-py3-clone-3\test_flask> uvicorn app:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8002

At this point the app is running fine. I then send the same request as done earlier with the following response:

There's lots of info to be found on this error in the context of Django or other environments, but not specific to ArcGIS. I've discovered that in the cloned environment using packages that are not in Package Manager is a non-starter.
Any ideas are most welcome!!
