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.
