Starlite is an ASGI (async) Python API Framework that uses Starlette and Pydantic as foundations. In this regard it's similar to FastAPI - with which it directly competes, but it has a communal governance model (5 maintainers currently), a lot more features and superior performance.
The discussion started in 2019 - https://github.com/encode/starlette/issues/652 And was approved and completed in sep 2022 - https://github.com/encode/starlette/pull/1376
Not only that, Tom had initiated conversation with the PSF foundation over the way forward for Requests library . This is primarily the reason that the httpx migration was initiated - https://github.com/psf/requests/issues/5149 . Kenneth Reitz was retiring from maintaining requests.
If you're interested in the architecture itself I recommend you start by making yourself familiar with [ASGI specification](https://asgi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) .
