  • maturin

    Build and publish crates with pyo3, cffi and uniffi bindings as well as rust binaries as python packages

  • Lastly if you're willing to introduce Rust, I'd consider a gradual approach using native libraries built in rust with PYO3. Check the maturin guide that helps you to streamline the build process of native libraries : https://github.com/PyO3/maturin . From there you could try to find hotspots in your python app and replace those with a native implementation.

  • fib

    Performance Benchmark of top Github languages

  • I've typically found rust to be about 100x faster than Python for the projects I've ported. This is consistent with https://github.com/drujensen/fib.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
