Sanic is a Python 3.10+ asynchronous web framework and server designed for speed. It provides a lightweight, unopinionated API with built‑in routing, middleware, and ASGI support.
Use cases
- build a fast REST API with async handlers
- create a high‑throughput microservice in Python
- serve real‑time websockets or streaming responses
- develop a lightweight web application without heavy dependencies
- replace a synchronous Flask app with an async alternative
When to choose
- you need maximum request‑per‑second performance
- your project requires async/await throughout the stack
- you want a simple, unopinionated framework with built‑in server
When to avoid
- you need a full‑stack MVC framework with built‑in ORM
- your team prefers synchronous code only
- you require extensive built‑in admin interfaces
