It's a python web framework, for those curious to know more before clicking through.

How do people deploy this framework typically - speaking for myself, I found NGINX Unit somewhat fiddly.

Thanks for writing this. I have similar gripes about FastAPI having developed an application over the past few years; I'm also continually surprised at how prevalent the attitude is that FastAPI has excellent docs, given how divorced the tutorial / toy examples in the docs are from real-world development and measurement of an API.

Pretty cool post! I'm not sure how I feel about SQLAlchemy (not the star of the post but mentioned quite a bit); it's such a big ball of state that has so many surprises, I wonder if some people build entirely without it.

Excellent post that actually gets into important details for real-world applications. I'm a huge fan of the design of Litestar.

> I also still think there are a lot of bad use cases for repositories and service layers that people should avoid, but that’s a digression which should probably become its own post

As a huge proponent of the repository pattern, I'll be looking forward to this post.

Good to see it using port 8000 as default, and not Flasks 5000 (does not work on Mac anymore)

Litestar is awesome. It’s great it’s got more than a single maintainer too.

This is well written, thanks!
