A Rust HTTP server for Python applications
About Emmett framework Granian
From the project's README at github.com/emmett-framework/granian. Lightly cleaned for readability; for the full source see the upstream repo.
Granian is a Rust HTTP server for Python applications built on top of Hyper and Tokio. Rationale
The main reasons behind Granian design are: Have a single, correct HTTP implementation, supporting versions 1, 2 (and eventually 3) Provide a single package for several platforms Avoid the usual Gunicorn + uvicorn + http-tools dependency composition on unix systems Provide stable performance when compared to existing alternatives
Adopting Granian would thus be a good choice when: wanting a modern, single dependency to serve both ASGI and WSGI applications looking for the most performant way to serve your Python application under HTTP/2 you need great concurrency capabilities, especially with websockets you care about throughput more than everything else
On the other hand, Granian won't be the ideal option if: you want a pure Python solution you need advanced debugging features your application relies on or you're looking for ASGI extensions not (yet) implemented Features Supports ASGI/3, [RSGI](https://github.com/emmett-framework/grani
