Sanic is a Flask-like Python 3.5+ web server that's written to go fast. It's based on 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 an 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 | Implementation | Requests/sec | Avg Latency |
| ------- | ------------------- | ------------:| -----------:|
| Sanic | Python 3.5 + uvloop | 33,342 | 2.96ms |
| Wheezy | gunicorn + meinheld | 20,244 | 4.94ms |
| Falcon | gunicorn + meinheld | 18,972 | 5.27ms |
| Bottle | gunicorn + meinheld | 13,596 | 7.36ms |
| Flask | gunicorn + meinheld | 4,988 | 20.08ms |
| Kyoukai | Python 3.5 + uvloop | 3,889 | 27.44ms |
| Aiohttp | Python 3.5 + uvloop | 2,979 | 33.42ms |
| Tornado | Python 3.5 | 2,138 | 46.66ms |
## Hello World
```python
from sanic import Sanic
from sanic.response import json
app = Sanic()
@app.route("/")
async def test(request):
return json({"hello": "world"})
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=8000)
```
