uvloop VS Prisma

I wound up on a different team with pre-existing Python code so temporarily shelved my use of Go for a bit, and we used Sanic (an async Python framework built on top of the excellent uvloop & libuv that also powers Node.js) to build some APIs for live channel management & operations. We hand-wrote our OpenAPI and used it to generate documentation and a CLI, which was an improvement over what was there (or not) before. Other teams used the OpenAPI document to generate SDKs to interact with our service.

If you're looking for maximum requests per second you can change the asyncio event loop with one like UVLoop.

An optional package uvloop can also be install if working on Linux:

The source code from the project resides in the github, with more than 8.6k stars and 596 forks is a very popular github, but no new releases are made since 2018, looks pure much not maintained anymore, no PR's are accepted no Issues are closed, still without windows or macOS Silicon, or PyPy3 support. Japronto it self uses uvloop with more than 9k stars and 521 forks and different from japronto is seems to be well maintained.

If you are building server-side applications using Python 3 and async API and if you didn't use https://github.com/MagicStack/uvloop, you are missing out on performance big time.

Also, if you happen to build microservices, don't forget to try PyPy, that's another easy performance booster (if it's compatible to your app).

Not that bad actually, with a different event loop implementation (such as https://github.com/MagicStack/uvloop). Not sure how well it will perform in a browser though

And so I did some searching, and found that SearX isn't officially supported on Windows. Not to be deterred, I did another quick search and found that with pip and/or docker, you should be able to install SearX straightforwardly on Windows. After trying this for a bit, I realized that uvloop, a (questionably optional dependency of SearX) is not supported on Windows. I tried a couple things to get it to work, but they didn't end up working for me either through user error, ignorance, or plain old not working.

they also wrote uvloop [0] which is fantastic and advances the cutting edge of what can be done with modern asyncio-based Python. I saw a ~3x improvement in the throughput of a microservice I wrote when I first tried it out years ago. currently at $dayjob we just use it by default in every Python service, whether or not we expect that service to be performance-critical.

If you manage to grok how uvloop works as well as Python's default asyncio loop scheduler, you'll understand this style. It is not by itself a parallelism enabler, but network I/O the coroutines triggered would run in parallel nevertheless, though CPU bound computations would not by default.

Unfortunately Prisma hasn’t supported polymorphism yet. As such, you can't use inheritance to model the entity in the same way as in your programming language, as depicted in the above class diagram. The good news is that we could intimate it using table inheritance to imitate it.

In this project I am manually declaring the data types. For better type-safety, use Prisma, which automatically generates types based on your database schema.

When you're creating a full-stack application, you'll also need to write logic to interact with your database. For relational databases like Postgres, you can do this with SQL, or an ORM like Prisma.

Prisma is a modern TypeScript-first ORM that allows you to manage database schemas easily, make queries and mutations with great flexibility, and ensure excellent type safety.

Prisma

There have been multiple feature requests to add native support for AsyncLocalStorage to Prisma, but they haven't been met with much enthusiasm from the maintainers. Some people solved it by extending and overriding the client (which is arguably prone to breaking with updates).

The DSL experience comes naturally to us as we have witnessed how well-designed language can greatly simplify programming tasks. We know it is challenging but not as difficult as many may feel. Therefore, we chose the schema-first design to create ZenStack toolkit on top of Prisma ORM that leverages code generation to significantly reduce the code developers need to write and make them move a lot faster.

Our products microservice is also straight forward just like how the auth has been. As previously plotted, we will be using different technologies on each service and we are using PostgreSQL as a database and prisma orm(Object Relational Mapper) for querying our DB. ORMs are used to translate between the data representations used by databases and those used in object-oriented programming, and in this service, we will be using one of the most common ones in the nodejs ecosystem, Prisma. It is the only fully type-safe ORM in the TypeScript ecosystem. The generated Prisma Client ensures typed query results even for partial queries and relations.
