# Sanic

Sanic is a Flask-like Python 3.5+ web server that's written to go fast.  It's based off the work done by the amazing folks at magicstack, and was inspired by this article: https://magic.io/blog/uvloop-blazing-fast-python-networking/.

On top of being flask-like, sanic supports async request handlers.  This means you can use the new shiny async/await syntax from Python 3.5, making your code non-blocking and speedy.

## Benchmarks

All tests were run on a AWS medium instance running ubuntu, using 1 process.  Each script delivered a small JSON response and was tested with wrk using 100 connections.  Pypy was tested for falcon and flask, but did not speed up requests.

| Server                       | Requests/sec | Avg Latency |
| ---------------------------- | ------------:| -----------:|
| Sanic  (Python 3.5 + uvloop) |       29,128 |      3.40ms |
| Falcon (gunicorn + meinheld) |       18,972 |      5.27ms |
| Flask  (gunicorn + meinheld) |        4,988 |     20.08ms |
| Aiohttp (Python 3.5)         |        2,187 |     56.60ms |
