Bottle vs Fastify: What are the differences?
Bottle: A lightweight WSGI micro web-framework for Python. It is distributed as a single file module and has no dependencies other than the Python Standard Library. It has fast and pythonic built-in template engine and support for mako, jinja2 and cheetah templates; Fastify: Fast and low overhead web framework, for Node.js. Fastify is a web framework highly focused on speed and low overhead. It is inspired from Hapi and Express and as far as we know, it is one of the fastest web frameworks in town. Use Fastify can increase your throughput up to 100%.
Bottle and Fastify can be categorized as "Microframeworks (Backend)" tools.
Fastify is an open source tool with 11.5K GitHub stars and 708 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Fastify's open source repository on GitHub.
OTOBANK, Distopik, and Detroit Technical English are some of the popular companies that use Fastify, whereas Bottle is used by Net Power & Light, Paysa, and Sotong Kitchen. Fastify has a broader approval, being mentioned in 9 company stacks & 25 developers stacks; compared to Bottle, which is listed in 3 company stacks and 6 developer stacks.
Which is the best Python framework for microservices?
We are using Nameko for building microservices in Python. The things we really like are dependency injection and the ease with which one can expose endpoints via RPC over RabbitMQ. We are planning to try a tool that helps us write polyglot microservices and nameko is not super compatible with it. Also, we are a bit worried about the not so good community support from nameko and looking for a python alternate to write microservices.
Bottle is much less bloated and fast. Its built-in templating system is one of the fastest as it compiles the templates in bytecode. Also Bottle has no depenencies, preventing dependency bloat.
