For this use case, Colossus aims to maximize performance while keeping the interface clean and concise.
Colossus is a tool in the Microframeworks (Backend) category of a tech stack.
Colossus is an open source tool with 1.1K GitHub stars and 107 GitHub forks. Here’s a link to Colossus's open source repository on GitHub
