Quart

Quart-Schema is an extension to the Quart web framework that adds validation and OpenAPI documentation via Pydantic models.

Quart is similar to Flasks API but is rewritten to be async.

FastAPI is a modern, high-performance web framework for building APIs with Python, based on standard Python type hints.

In this tutorial, I will demonstrate how to use Burr, an open source framework (disclosure: I helped create it), using simple OpenAI client calls to GPT4, and FastAPI to create a custom email assistant agent. We’ll describe the challenge one faces and then how you can solve for them. For the application frontend we provide a reference implementation but won’t dive into details for it.

That’s when I found FastAPI.

An API application framework (such as FastAPI)

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

Fast API.

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:
