Nameko is a Python microservices framework that lets developers build services as plain Python classes with entrypoints for AMQP RPC, events (pub-sub), HTTP, and websockets. It handles connections, transports, and concurrency automatically and includes CLI and testing utilities.

Use cases

• build microservices in python
• rpc between python services over amqp
• expose http endpoints for a service
• pub-sub events between services
• build websocket services in python
• unit and integration test microservices

When to choose

• building python microservices with amqp-based rpc or events
• you want a class-based service abstraction with managed concurrency
• you need both http and rpc entrypoints in one framework

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured async web framework or rest api framework
• your stack is not python
• you want actively evolving features - development is slow and releases are maintenance-focused
