Efesto

Pypi Travis build Codacy grade Codacy coverage Docs

A micro REST API meant to be used almost out of the box with other microservices.

It kickstarts you by providing a simple way to build a backend and expose it. Efesto uses PostgreSQL and JWTs for authentication.

Efesto follows the UNIX principle of doing one thing and well, leaving you the freedom of choice about other components (authentication, caching, rate-limiting, load balancer).

Installing

Install efesto, possibly in a virtual environment:

pip install efesto

Create a postgresql database and export the database url:

export DB_URL=postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/efesto

Export the jwt secret:

export JWT_SECRET=secret

Populate the db:

efesto install

Create an admin:

efesto create users tofu --superuser

Now you can start efesto, with either uwsgi or gunicorn:

gunicorn "efesto.App:App.run()"

Efesto should now be running:

curl http://localhost:8000/version

Docker

Docker images are available in the hub:

  • strangemachines/efesto:latest
  • strangemachines/efesto:2.3
  • strangemachines/efesto:2.2
  • strangemachines/efesto:2.1

Performance

Efesto performs at about 200 requests/second on a small digital ocean droplet, for requests that include JWT authentication, fetching data and printing out JSON.

You have seen 100k requests benchmarks, but don't be fooled: most benchmarks from authors are made so that their package comes to the top and do not reflect real conditions.
