## What it is
Sanic is a fast, asynchronous Python web framework and web server supporting async/await syntax and ASGI compliance. It bundles a production-ready server with routing, middleware, websockets, and TLS out of the box.

## Use cases
- build a fast async REST API in Python
- serve a high-throughput web application with asyncio
- deploy an ASGI-compatible Python web server
- handle websockets in a Python backend
- build a production-grade HTTP server with TLS support

## When to choose
- you need high-performance asynchronous request handling in Python
- you want a framework and web server bundled together
- your app benefits from non-blocking I/O with async/await

## When to avoid
- you need a large ecosystem of batteries-included features like Django
- your team prefers synchronous WSGI codebases
- you rely on libraries that are not asyncio-compatible

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: stable
- function: web-framework, http-server, routing, middleware, websocket
- domain: web-development, backend, apis
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: asyncio, asgi, async, api-server, high-performance, web-server
