TurboAPI is a FastAPI-compatible Python web framework with a Zig-native HTTP core, offering drop-in migration by changing a single import line. It uses Zig-side parsing, native validation via dhi models, zero-copy responses, and Python 3.14t free-threading to deliver significantly higher throughput than FastAPI.

Use cases

• replace fastapi with a faster drop-in framework
• build high-throughput python rest apis
• serve http apis without the gil bottleneck
• migrate an existing fastapi app with one import change
• validate request bodies natively before python runs
• mount zig or c handlers for hot endpoints

When to choose

• you have an existing FastAPI codebase and need more throughput
• you can run Python 3.14t free-threaded builds
• you deploy behind a reverse proxy that handles TLS and HTTP/2
• raw HTTP or HTTP+DB workloads dominate your latency

When to avoid

• you need native TLS, HTTP/2, HTTP/3, or QUIC without an edge proxy
• you require production-grade stability - this is alpha software
• you rely on C extensions that are not thread-safe under free-threading
• you need configurable request body size limits or mature WebSocket support
