3x faster than Flask
Too Long; Didn't Read
Python has evolved since <a href="https://github.com/pallets/flask" target="_blank">Flask</a> was first released around 8 years ago, particularly with the introduction of asyncio. Asyncio has allowed for the development of libraries such as <a href="https://github.com/MagicStack/uvloop" target="_blank">uvloop</a> and <a href="https://github.com/magicstack/asyncpg" target="_blank">asyncpg</a> that are reported (<a href="https://magic.io/blog/uvloop-blazing-fast-python-networking/" target="_blank">here</a>, and <a href="https://magic.io/blog/asyncpg-1m-rows-from-postgres-to-python/" target="_blank">here</a>) to improve performance far beyond what was previously possible. Sadly Flask is not easily combined with asyncio or these libraries. However the Flask-API can be used with asyncio via the <a href="https://gitlab.com/pgjones/quart" target="_blank">Quart</a> framework.
