facture 0.2.1

facture: async http api framework ===

[](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rbw/facture/master/LICENSE) [](https://pypi.org/project/facture) [](https://travis-ci.org/rbw/facture) [](https://codecov.io/gh/rbw/facture) [](https://pypi.org/project/facture/)

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](https://demo.facture.dev).

It’s built on top of [aiohttp](https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp), is compatible with its plugin system, and uses the blazing fast [uvloop](https://github.com/MagicStack/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](https://www.postgresql.org) databases - Provides intuitive tools for object serialization - Created with [Docker](https://www.docker.com) and [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io) in mind - Works only with modern versions of Python (3.6+) - Event loop driven; code must be [asynchronous](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html)

Getting started —

Read the documentation at [https://facture.rtfd.io](https://facture.rtfd.io), or check out the [jet-guestbook](https://github.com/rbw/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.
