AstraAPI
FastAPI-compatible. C++ core. Built-in workers. No gunicorn needed.
AstraAPI is a drop-in replacement for FastAPI with a compiled C++20 core. Same decorators. Same Pydantic models. Same OpenAPI docs. But 5-10x faster — no external server required.
from astraapi import AstraAPI
app = AstraAPI()
@app.get("/")
def hello():
return {"message": "Hello World"}
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(port=8000, workers=4)
Output:
C++ HTTP server running on http://127.0.0.1:8000

| FastAPI + Uvicorn | AstraAPI | |
|---|---|---|
| HTTP parser | httptools (Python) |
llhttp (C++, Node.js) |
| JSON | orjson |
yyjson + SIMD serializer |
| Workers | gunicorn/uvicorn | Built-in fork/spawn |
| Keep-alive | Per-connection timers | Batch sweep |
| Compression | zlib | libdeflate (2-3x faster) |
| Throughput | ~45k req/s | ~236k req/s |
Install

from pydantic import BaseModel
app = AstraAPI()
class Item(BaseModel):
name: str
price: float
@app.get("/items/{item_id}")
def read_item(item_id: int, q: str | None = None):
return {"item_id": item_id, "q": q}
@app.post("/items/")
def create_item(item: Item):
return item
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(port=8000, workers=4)
