facture: async http api framework
Facture provides developers with a sensible base structure and set of tools for building performant, lightweight and scalable HTTP API packages that can be easily deployed, combined - or shared with others.
Check out a demo of the Facture REST API browser over at https://demo.facture.dev.
It's built on top of aiohttp, is compatible with its plugin system, and uses the blazing fast uvloop implementation of the asyncio event loop.
Features and limitations:
- Delivers performance and concurrency
- Scales horizontally
- Comes with a REST API browser
- Supports CORS and JWT out of the box
- Has built-in support for Postgres databases
- Provides intuitive tools for object serialization
- Created with Docker and Kubernetes in mind
- Works only with modern versions of Python (3.6+)
- Event loop driven; code must be asynchronous
Getting started
Read the documentation at https://facture.rtfd.io, or check out the jet-guestbook example.
Development
While Facture does work, it's currently under heavy development; Expect some breakage, as well as lacking documentation and tests. That being said - I would very much appreciate people testing out the software, and perhaps even contribute with code.
