Litestar – powerful, flexible, and highly performant Python ASGI framework
It’s been my experience that async Python frameworks tend to turn IO bound problems into CPU bound problems with a high enough request rate, because due to their nature they act as unbounded queues.
This ends up made worse if you’re using sync routes.
If you’re constrained on a resource such as a database connection pool, your framework will continue to pull http requests off the wire that a sane client will cancel and retry due to timeouts because it takes too long to get a connection out of the pool. Since there isn’t a straightforward way to cancel the execution of a route handler in every Python http framework I’ve seen exhibit this problem, the problem quickly snowballs.
This is an issue with fastapi, too- https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/issues/5759

Fun with Avatars: Crafting the core engine | Part. 1
We will create our API using FastAPI, a modern high-performance web framework for building fast APIs with Python. It is designed to be easy to use, efficient, and highly scalable. Some key features of FastAPI include:

Building Fast APIs with FastAPI: A Comprehensive Guide
FastAPI is a modern, fast, web framework for building APIs with Python 3.7+ based on standard Python type hints. It is designed to be easy to use, fast to run, and secure. In this blog post, we’ll explore the key features of FastAPI and walk through the process of creating a simple API using this powerful framework.
-
Effortless API Documentation: Accelerating Development with FastAPI, Swagger, and ReDoc
FastAPI is a modern, fast web framework for building APIs with Python 3.7+ that automatically generates OpenAPI and JSON Schema documentation. While FastAPI simplifies API development, manually creating and updating API documentation can still be a time-consuming task. In this blog post, we’ll explore how to leverage FastAPI’s automatic documentation generation capabilities, specifically focusing on Swagger and ReDoc, and how to streamline the process of documenting your APIs.

Building a Dynamic Tile Server Using Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF(COG) with TiTiler
TiTiler is a dynamic tile server built on FastAPI and Rasterio/GDAL. Its main features include support for Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF(COG), multiple projection methods, various output formats (JPEG, JP2, PNG, WEBP, GTIFF, NumpyTile), WMTS, and virtual mosaic. It also provides Lambda and ECS deployment environments using AWS CDK.

Writing Clean Code with FastAPI Dependency Injection
To make it a bit more realistic, we’re going to use a FastAPI route as an example, and we’re also going to use FastAPI’s dependency injection, which can really help with readability (and testability, but more on that later).

A Look on Python Web Performance at the end of 2022
Sanic is very very popular with 16.6k stars, 1.5k forks, opencollective sponsors and a very active github. Falcon is more popular than japronto with 8.9k stars, 898 forks, opencollective sponsors and a very active github too. Despite Japronto been keeped as first place by TechEmPower, Falcon is a way better solution in general with performance similar to fastify an very fast node.js framework that hits 575k requests per second in this benchmark.

Ask HN: Programming Without a Build System?
> trying to build a lifeboat for Twitter, Python works, but then modules require builds that break.
> Alternatively, any good resources for the above?
There are many, _unbelievably many_ writeups and tools for Python building and packaging. Some of them are really neat! But paralysis of choice is real. So is the reality that many of the new/fully integrated/cutting edge tools, however superior they may be, just won't get long term support to catch on and stay relevant.
When getting started with Python, I very personally like to choose from a few simple options (others are likely to pipe up with their own, and that's great; mine aren't The One Right Way, just some fairly cold/mainstream takes).
1. First pick what stack you'll be using to develop and test software. In Python this is sadly often going to be different from the stack you'll use to deploy/run it in production, but here we are. There are two sub-choices to be made here:
1.a. How will you be running the _python interpreter_ in dev/test? "I just want to use the Python that came with my laptop" is fine to a point, but breaks down a lot sooner than folks expect (again, the reasons for this are variously reasonable and stupid, but here we are). Personally, I like pyenv (https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv) here. It's a simple tool that builds interpreters on your system and provides shell aliases to adjust pathing so they can optionally be used. At the opposite extreme from pyenv, some folks choose Python-in-Docker here (pros: reproducible, makes deployment environments very consistent with dev; cons: IDE/quick build-and-run automations get tricker). There are some other tools that wrap/automate the same stuff that pyenv does.
1.b. How will you be isolating your project's dependencies? "I want to install dependencies globally" breaks down (or worse, breaks your laptop!) pretty quickly, yes it's a bummer. There are three options here: if you really eschew automations/wrappers/thick tools in general, you can do this yourself (i.e. via "pip install --local", optionally in a dedicated development workstation user account); you can use venv (https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html stdlib version of virtualenv, yes the names suck and confusing, here we are etc. etc.), which is widely standardized upon and manually use "pip install" while inside your virtualenv, and you can optionally integrate your virtualenv with pyenv so "inside your virtualenv" is easy to achieve via pyenv-virtualenv (https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-virtualenv); or you can say "hell with this, I want maximum convenience via a wrapper that manages my whole project" and use Poetry (https://python-poetry.org/). There's no right point on that spectrum, it's up to you to decide where you fall on the "I want an integrated experience and to start prototyping quickly" versus "I want to reduce customizations/wrappers/tooling layers" spectrum.
2. Then, pick how you'll be developing said software: what frameworks or tools you'll be using. A Twitter lifeboat sounds like a webapp, so you'll likely want a web framework. Python has a spectrum of those of varying "thickness"/batteries-included-ness. At the minimum of thickness are tools like Flask (https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.2.x/) and Sanic (like Flask, but with a bias towards performance at the cost of using async and some newer Python programming techniques which tend, in Python, to be harder than the traditional Flask approach: https://sanic.dev). At the maximum of thickness are things like Django/Pyramid. With the minimally-thick frameworks you'll end up plugging together other libraries for things like e.g. database access or web content serving/templating, with the maximally-thick approach that is included but opinionated. Same as before: no right answers, but be clear on the axis (or axes) along with you're choosing.
3. Choose how you'll be deploying/running the software, maybe after prototyping for awhile. This isn't "lock yourself into a cloud provider/hosting platform", but rather a choice about what tools you use with the hosting environment. Docker is pretty uncontentious here, if you want a generic way to run your Python app on many environments. So is "configure Linux instances to run equivalent Python/package versions to your dev/test environment". If you choose the latter, be aware that (and this is very important/often not discussed) many tools that the Python community suggests for local development or testing are very unsuitable for managing production environments (e.g. a tool based around shell state mutation is going to be extremely inconvenient to productionize).
Yeah, that's a lot of choices, but in general there are some pretty obvious/uncontentious paths there. Pyenv-for-interpreters/Poetry-for-packaging-and-project-management/Flask-for-web-serving/Docker-for-production is not going to surprise anyone or break any assumptions. Docker/raw-venv/Django is going to be just as easy to Google your way through.
Again, no one obvious right way (ha!) but plenty of valid options!
Not sure if that's what you were after. If you want a "just show me how to get started"-type writeup rather than an overview on the choices involved, I'm sure folks here or some quick googling will turn up many!

Personally I haven’t used it outside of trying a few very basic things. I’d recommend blacksheep if you want small, performant and low overhead, or sanic which, in my opinion, is the best choice if you do not need all the Django fluff.
