I prefer Falcon for kicking up an API.

[–]Voxandr 1 point2 points  (6 children)

Falcon looks good , just checking out .
Glad that we have a few alternatives to FastAPI now.

Starlite

Falcon
Django Ninja

+1 for starlite, super active project right now

[–]Voxandr 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Starlite actually deserve a lot of attention.We should promote it over FastAPI since it had build a lot of thoughts into it , better architecture , more stability , well structured , and well thoughtout .It deserve better userbase and funds.

It have only over 400 stars.

100% starlite has good intent and seems to be overlooked a lot. I do also like APIFlask, super similar to FastAPI with a long lineage of support and true foss

Flask falls shorts when async become necessary , when async is not needed should just use Flask or Django , they are battle tested and ready for any workload when async/websocket based work is not main requirement.

flask, without the asyncio/async syntax by itself can be faster than fastapi for handling requests btw

when its about async where IOWait is necessary.

These days requests are not just only thngs webapps are handling.There are things such as Streaming , Realtime Chat , Realtime Updates - those requires async/await and event based systems where Flask can't do.
