Uvloop Alternatives

• How to Use Libuv In Your Zig Project
  6 projects | dev.to | 10 May 2025

  Libuv describes itself as a multi-platform support library with a focus on asynchronous I/O. It is widely used in many web servers (e.g., Kestrel) and runtimes such as Node.js and Python (via uvloop). As of Zig 0.14.0, there is no native async I/O, so you must work directly with threads or create your own async API using OS primitives like epoll or kqueue. In many cases, you would likely choose a cross-platform library rather than implementing your own async API. That’s where using libuv, libevent, or libxev (written in Zig) becomes useful.

• How Much Memory Do You Need in 2024 to Run 1M Concurrent Tasks?

  I kept the `import uvloop` statement when just using asyncio so that both cases start in the same conditions.

• APIs in Go with Huma 2.0
  6 projects | dev.to | 6 Dec 2023

  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:

• A Look on Python Web Performance at the end of 2022
  10 projects | dev.to | 14 Nov 2022

  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.

• Modern Python Performance Considerations
  8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 5 May 2022

  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).

• So it begins.

  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

• SearX On Windows: A Short(ish) Tech Journey
  3 projects | /r/u_SyntaxAerror | 17 Apr 2022

  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.
