    The little ASGI framework that shines. 🌟

    Some folks have mentioned fastapi, which is a good call. If you want to be more extreme about performance, under the covers, fastapi is a combination of starlette and pydantic plus various other goodies. You can build a pure starlette-based API if complete speed is of the essence and you want to stick with python.
