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

Usage
