Python: Fast. Lean. Robyn.
Rust-Core Python Framework
Introduction
Python’s web framework ecosystem is buzzing — from the classic Flask to the modern FastAPI, developers have had their fair share of tools. But there’s a new kid on the block making serious noise: Robyn.
It’s fast, it’s async, it’s written in Rust, and it’s aiming to become the Node.js of Python. If you care about performance, scalability, and modern design — Robyn is a name you need to know.
In this article, we’ll cover:
- What Robyn is and why it matters
- How it compares with Flask and FastAPI
- Its standout features
- When and why you should consider using it
Let’s dive in —
What is Robyn?
Robyn is an ultra-fast, async web framework for Python, powered by a core written in Rust. It combines the expressive power of Python with the raw speed and concurrency of Rust — offering developers the best of both worlds.
It is 5x faster than FastAPI. It Supports async and multi-threading and Uses Rust for speed (Or you can say alternative to Flask and FastAPI, optimized for multi-core processing).
