Masonite VS fastapi

I would suggest Masonite [0]. It’s lightweight enough to replace Flask and has a plethora of built in features if you need to build a “production-ready” app. It tends to imitate Laravel in its project setup and naming conventions which, depending on your preference, can either be a boon or a bane.

Masonite is a wonderful Python framework, much similar to Laravel I found in 2018. I even chatted with Joseph about it in the old Slack channels, before the community moved to Discord.

Exceptionite 2 is a debugging screen package written by the Masonite team. Although written by the Masonite maintainer team, it can be used in Flask, Django and of course Masonite.

For those who like the concept and want to encourage the developer please don’t hesitate to give a little star for Masonite on Github: https://github.com/MasoniteFramework/masonite

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:

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.

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.
