BustAPI

Hi HN, We’ve all accepted the "Python tax"—you trade execution speed for developer happiness. But what if that trade-off was a thing of the past? I just came across BustAPI, and it’s basically a "cheat code" for Python web services. It’s not just another wrapper; it’s a hybrid engine that embeds a Rust (Actix-Web) core directly into the Python runtime. Is this the end of the "slow Python" era? The benchmarks are pretty shocking. I’d love to see someone stress-test this against a production-grade Go or Node.js setup.

Hi HN, I built BustAPI to solve performance issues I kept hitting with Python APIs. It uses a Rust backend (Actix) with PyO3 so Python devs get speed without writing Rust. Key points: - 5–10x faster than FastAPI in simple benchmarks - Familiar Flask/FastAPI-style API - Focused on admin backends and high-throughput APIs I’d love feedback, especially on API design and real-world use cases.
