Robyn: A fast async Python web framework with a Rust runtime
summary
Robyn is a Python web framework that embeds a Rust runtime and a multi threaded Tokio backend so Python routes get converted to Rust objects and dispatch across workers and processes bypassing the GIL. The project ships its own server, supports sync and async handlers, views and routers, websockets, extensions like Jinja and Strawberry GraphQL, and a CLI scaffolder. Benchmarks claim over a million requests per second, PyPI nears a million installs and GitHub shows ~2,900 stars. It exposes con=True consequence caching for static responses.
