Bottle vs Koa: What are the differences?

Developers describe Bottle as "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. On the other hand, Koa is detailed as "Next generation web framework for node.js". Koa aims to be a smaller, more expressive, and more robust foundation for web applications and APIs. Through leveraging generators Koa allows you to ditch callbacks and greatly increase error-handling. Koa does not bundle any middleware.

Bottle and Koa belong to "Microframeworks (Backend)" category of the tech stack.

Koa is an open source tool with 26.9K GitHub stars and 2.47K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Koa's open source repository on GitHub.

Pubu, Dial Once, and TheIconic are some of the popular companies that use Koa, whereas Bottle is used by Net Power & Light, Paysa, and Sotong Kitchen. Koa has a broader approval, being mentioned in 62 company stacks & 170 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.
