Research direction

Start by reviewing the current custom ASGI implementation and its integration points. Compare the existing behavior with Starlette's support for lifespans and mounting or being mounted as middleware. Done means the SDK uses Starlette instead of the custom ASGI layer while preserving the required integrations.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Let's move to https://www.starlette.io as this is almost de-facto standard for asgi,
I've seen this in numerous projects, it is lightweight, and most importantly it will support lifespans, and mounting/being mounted as middleware.
