Bottle vs Slim: 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, Slim is detailed as "A PHP micro framework". Slim is easy to use for both beginners and professionals. Slim favors cleanliness over terseness and common cases over edge cases. Its interface is simple, intuitive, and extensively documented — both online and in the code itself.

Bottle and Slim can be primarily classified as "Microframeworks (Backend)" tools.

Slim is an open source tool with 10.1K GitHub stars and 1.85K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Slim's open source repository on GitHub.

According to the StackShare community, Slim has a broader approval, being mentioned in 43 company stacks & 139 developers stacks; compared to Bottle, which is listed in 3 company stacks and 6 developer stacks.

Nameko

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

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.
