Quick and dirty mock service with Starlette

  An ASGI web server, for Python. 🦄

  

Instead of a synchronous web server like Gunicorn or uWSGI, an asynchronous web server is required. I selected Uvicorn, a web server similar to Gunicorn that uses uvloop to handle the asynchronous event loop.

Starlette's API made this emulator as quick to produce as I could possibly hope for. The framework is still new, but I think it has a very promising future in the Python ecosystem. It already has the best performance of any Python framework in the TechEmpower Benchmarks.

Could I solve the problem with async programming? Async programming is much easier in recent versions of Python. The language now has built-in keywords like async and await that makes programming in that style friendlier. I've assessed a few async web frameworks, and I recalled a feature that I saw in the Starlette documentation: Background Tasks

As much as I love Django, I didn't think it was a good fit. In my thought process, calling the webhook later required some kind of background task. If you know Django, then you may immediately think of Celery, and that was my first thought too. The problem is that Celery requires a message broker like RabbitMQ. With that, the simplicity budget is totally shot.

Starlette is a web framework developed by the author of Django REST Framework (DRF), Tom Christie. DRF is such a solid project. Sharing the same creator bolstered my confidence that Starlette will be a well designed piece of software.

• Redis

  Redis is an in-memory database that persists on disk. The data model is key-value, but many different kind of values are supported: Strings, Lists, Sets, Sorted Sets, Hashes, Streams, HyperLogLogs, Bitmaps.

  

An alternative to Celery is RQ, but it has similar problems and requires running Redis along with a separate worker process.
