There is not much performance difference between Django and FastAPI. Because they are both Python frameworks. That's why they are both very slow. If you think FastAPI can compete with Go stdlib, you can take a look at TechEmpower benchmarks.
@@oktay9784 I'm not a pytonista but I have a lot of doubts about a full framework like Django being as lightweight as something like FastAPI. And from FastAPI themselves on their homepage says: ‘The main features are: Fast: Very high performance, on par with NodeJS and Go (thanks to Starlette and Pydantic).’ This doesn't mean that FastAPI will achieve the same results as Go despite what it says. But since you're comparing a very fast language (Go), you have to choose the fatest library/framework for something as slow as Python.
Great test but nothing surprising. Go is known to walk that line between ease of use and performance. Python more towards ease of use, with less performance. and Rust more towards performance but is harder to use.
On a course about algorithms lecturer was writing code mainly on Java, but also shows examples on Python and JavaScript. Java has showed much bigger performance than Python in every test, so I concluded that Python is relatively slow language. Recently I've read that Go is very lightweight and fast and that's why it is widely used in microservices. It made the wrong perception that Python should be slower than Go.
There is nothing "easy" about Python. If you hate yourself that much, by all means, use a language where whitespace is syntax. But if you value your sanity, choose something less schizophrenic, with proper block definition syntax and a static type checker.
Very cool! I recently converted a python pipeline to rust and was shocked by the performance improvements 40s -> sub 1second. If you want I might be able to help convert this to something like fastapi since it’s very popular. Might be beneficial for everyone to see
@@PanicAtProduction Bun will lose if I remember correctly , by watching a video of some guy who converted his code from bun next to golang for static pages I guess I am also interested in this though since bun actually has bs benchmarks on its website (its comparing 17x faster for react , for a simple hello world which is pretty stupid imo) I would like to see some practical examples like how Anton does Please anton , lets see bun vs golang.
Every Django task is blocking, so there is big latency when working with multiple users. There is obvious optimizations for Django app - use async views, async calls to dbs, async middleware + some asgi server (like uvicorn). For further improvement you can use C-written "NGINX Unit" as WSGI/ASGI server instead of Python-written Gunicorn/Uvicorn. And looks like there is unnecessary middlewares, too. I hope someone else can make pull request because I used Django only a couple of times (not a big expert, esp. talking about performance) Would like to see FastAPI vs Django vs Go stdlib vs some js backend (maybe both Node and Bun) in the next video.
@@AntonPutra Configuring gunicorn to use gevent workers should be quicker to set up. But I'd still be very interested in comparing it with actual async python functions.
You can write django app in days instead of months for the go version. Just start the MVP with django, it scales horizontally well and add some go stuffs if your app becomes really successful. Otherwise it will sit on your $5 vm processing 10 request per day which comes from yourelf. Good bye
Django is a framework, and you've compared with stdlib non framework compiled go? what a on fair comparison. It was apple and orange. When go is async from the start, that huge django is threaded sync framework dude. Whats the point comparing compiled language to interpreted language when simple hello world is enough to justify compiled lang supremacy. The closest thing you can do is comparing go with python fastapi/falcon + pypy which is far superior to django in term of performance. Django is big because you have everything included to develop fast business application.
I know, I have a lot of experience running Django in production at my company. I know it's slow, but I've received several requests to demonstrate just how slow it is.
@@AntonPutra now you need to demostrate how slow you will write in Go all built-in systems, that django has out-of-box. Templating, translation, timezones, auth, sessions, ORM (with very complicated queries support), CORS middleware, clickjacking middleware, password hashing... list goes on. Plus there are TONS of working solutions, that you can use for your applications in notime (DRF, Djoser, Django-model-translation etc.). It is slow. But not "just slow for nothing" - that bunch of tools comes at price.
On your question about why is Python transmitting so much more data across the network. I suspect that is due to Gunicon not supporting HTTP KeepAlive on sync requests and therefore you're seeing the TCP setup & close traffic for each any every request to the Python server. Go's ServeMux does seem to support HTTP Keepalive; hence its comparitively lower traffic levels. I guess an async Django instance, supporting HTTP KeepAlive, would be interesting - if possible!
Very good video as always. But I think that results are expected, will be interesting compare between Python frameworks popular for backend: Django Rest Framework, FastAPI and Flask.
I find yr videos really insightful. U are probably the only person and channel that really demonstrates that the choice of programming language is a very important factor in software/web development. Many people are guilty of burying this in the hopes that their favorite stack will not be exposed for the CPU vampires that they are. At this point it seems that Go is the fastest GCPL for pretty much anything memory safe while Rust is the fastest non-GCPL for the same. 😅
I assume bun has a small edge over node and node has a small edge over deno. deno being the slowest of them all, but not by mutch. maybe 5% slower than bun.
@@DavidSmith-ef4eh you'd be suprised how many people believe Python is faster than others. A solution architect even told me python is faster than what he uses everyday( C# )
This is so interesting! As someone who likes to self-host stuff i have an instance of Authentik(an Auth provider for your self-hosted services made largely with Python and Typescript ) where for all its services like the agent and the service itself it consumes around 1 to 1.2gb of ram! Which is quite insane . As soon as i saw the graphs in this video it reminded me of Authentik! Thanks for yet another amazing video btw! Keep up the great work!
A few questions which might help with Python performance that I didn't see addressed * what version of python are you using? * can you test with async views in Django? I'd never expect python to be nearly as performant but im curious if the latest GIL updates in 3.11, 3.12 and 3.13 along with Django's Async views help with the dismal performance? Thanks from a fellow Anton :)
If I understand correctly, Go does automatic parallel scheduling of the code that manages the requests. In Django you should use async view functions and run using the asgi interface provided by Channels. It'll still be way slower, but better than what you got. Also, you should run it using an application server like uwsgi (I can't see how you ran it, I'm on a phone and it's too small/fast 😅)
... and youtube won't allow me to comment about how to use uvicorn to run the project using async... It's in the official docs 🙂 I'm curios to see how much things change with async views.
Django is for the quickest path from the idea to something actually working ... And this is why I will keep using even watching how it dramatically fails in benchmark tests 😂
The comparison is not valid. Django has a significant number of default middleware, which means that the request must go through several processes before reaching the view function.
One thing to keep in mind is that it is not appropriate to compare programming languages or frameworks directly, as each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
The success of a project does not solely depend on the tools used, but rather on the intellectual capabilities and expertise of the individuals involved.
At my company, we've been running Django in production for at least 4 years. Yes, it's a totally production-ready framework, but it's just slow. I have a lot of experience running Django in production under heavy load :)
Amazing and professional video as always, I actually requested this one in the previous (Rust vs Zig) so a million thanks! Personally, I used Bun.js + Elysia a week ago and had a great DX. So having a Benchmark that answers which JS web framework is the fastest would be awesome. For Node.js I would choose the Hyper express or Hono, Elysia for Bun and I have no clue about deno.
Could you do some kind of benchmark on number of active connections and how well actix-web handles it as compared to something in erlang? I would love to see why WhatsApp decided to go with erlang (even though Rust probably wasn't too mature/did not exist?) over the more mainstream tools, maybe even C++. C++ also has a relatively less known web framework in the form of drogon.
Yes, I keep optimizing the DB setup. I’ve now set the pool to 20 connections and some timeouts, but scaling the connection pool is usually handled by the library itself. I have metrics from the database to visualize them in Grafana.
Hey, I’ve been watching your videos for a while now. I really appreciate this kind of content. Especially for a person obsessed with perfomance like me. I would really like to see a comparison between databases perfomance. Especially postgresql vs mysql. Thank you btw.
"Simple" improvement for the django app I saw is to switch to async everything. This does increase the complexity of the project (and debugging) but should increase throughput a meaningful amount. For the go db connection, I did see that the maxConnections was increased to 20 so I suppose that's a fair place to start. I would say increase both the python and go to the max allowed of 100 connections for a saturation test.
Hi, first time here, I would love to learn how to make such benchmarks. Would also like to see something more modern for Python like FastAPI or Starlette (ASGI) VS Fastify TypeScript
Love the way you explain it dude, it really tell us many information from it. I really curious on Laravel PHP vs NodeJS Would you mind try it also? since those three were very popular in my city currently
Python has always been great for prototyping and scripting. But as always, once you get to the point where you need serious performance it's best to rewrite in some other language.
Debunk? Elixir is not faster than Go. It may be quicker than Python, but it depends The question is how to compare Elixir with their own fault-tolerance system. Do we need to use Docker with Elixir or not? Elixir has self-healing at the code level, and Docker can add it at the cluster
Hey! Love your videos! Can you do an updated comparission between Istio and Linkerd2? But now using Istio's ambient mode (as oposed to their traditional sidecar mode) They claim that is much less resourse intensive, easier to manage and production ready
There is no comparison. It looks like Python tanked both tests. In Test-1, Go was handling ~60k req/s while Python was handling ~2k req/s. For a fair comparison, both should be serving similar number of requests per second. In Test-2, Python app just crashed under load.
@@AntonPutra it's sill not a big improvement, and Django is still deeply synchronous. Some folks rewrote ORM's object property resolution in Rust, which made a ton of improvement for big objects
Great content! This is one of the reason Im refactoring from python(django) to rust(actix) in one of my apps at work. And uwsgi is a nightmare to configure. Though Django is still my goto web framework for doing MVP apps.
I'd be curious how much of the Django ecosystem has equivalent plugins on other platforms. Part of the draw of Django is how full featured the ecosystem is.
Like for the video; but what do these huge logos of Python and Go mean? It would be better to have a legend, that shows which color belongs to which language.
@@AntonPutra I saw that later in the video, thank you. But still wanders - what do the huge logos of Python on the left side and Go on the right side on the charts mean?..
@@AntonPutra In terms of performance, environment (managing python dependencies really sucks without containerization), weekly typed vs strongly typed ( python doesn't' have strongly typed variables). You can probably sense I'm very anti python is the answer to everything... It has it's place, scripting and AI experimentation.
Yes, since I use the standard library, it doesn't have any rate-limiting capabilities, so it accepts each request. Eventually, all those requests fill up the memory, and it crashes. That's why you might choose a framework or at least implement it yourself.
I would also get rid of security and auth middlewares since you are not using auth and sec in go. Another thing is i18n. Django dev here 😂. Do you accept PRs?
thanks, no, it's turned on for local development only. for deploying to prod, it is turned off - github.com/antonputra/tutorials/blob/main/lessons/209/deploy/django-app/configmap.yaml#L23

Hey! Love your videos! Can you do an updated comparission between Istio and Linkerd2? But now using Istio's ambient mode (as oposed to their traditional sidecar mode) They claim that is much less resourse intensive, easier to manage and production ready
Yes, but probably Istio (sidecarless) with Cilium.
There is no comparison. It looks like Python tanked both tests. In Test-1, Go was handling ~60k req/s while Python was handling ~2k req/s. For a fair comparison, both should be serving similar number of requests per second. In Test-2, Python app just crashed under load.
yes, i'll try async views next time
P99 is a bad metric here since it will lead you to strange conclusions due to GC
Use p90
agreed, i'm already switching to p90 in the new benchmarks
At "CPU Throtteling" you mislabled the blue line as "Zig" instead of "Go" ;)
yes, it is from the previous benchmark a ran, it just copy paste :)
Thanks for these. I would love to see Elysia vs Fresh (Deno)
no problem, will test Elysia soon
even proper json serialization with orjson won't help django, it's just too slow
what about async views? have you tried it?
@@AntonPutra it's sill not a big improvement, and Django is still deeply synchronous. Some folks rewrote ORM's object property resolution in Rust, which made a ton of improvement for big objects
@@ac130kz ok
NestJS and some other Node.js based frameworks would be interesting
ok, i'll do node/express next then other js frameworks
@@AntonPutra nice, just keep in mind, nestjs sits ontop of express.
@@rankala Yes, I saw that it has a couple more thousand stars on GitHub.
This was a loosing battle, -I bet rust vs python would be a bloodbath😅
maybe fastapi, will see :)
great content, Nice thumb by the way!
thank you!
Great content!
This is one of the reason Im refactoring from python(django) to rust(actix) in one of my apps at work. And uwsgi is a nightmare to configure. Though Django is still my goto web framework for doing MVP apps.
I'd be curious how much of the Django ecosystem has equivalent plugins on other platforms. Part of the draw of Django is how full featured the ecosystem is.
@@antonmarini3662 Agree with this, actually in my case I build it from scratch or use a similar library then just add those missing features.
It's easy to develop with, but hard to migrate from. We've been running Django for multiple years already, and they just keep adding more features.
please do one with FastAPI with purely async routes (async route function + async function calls inside or run_in_threadpool for sync functions)
ok will do
Like for the video; but what do these huge logos of Python and Go mean? It would be better to have a legend, that shows which color belongs to which language.
I have it in the actual test, you can skip it and have a timestamp in the description.
@@AntonPutra I saw that later in the video, thank you. But still wanders - what do the huge logos of Python on the left side and Go on the right side on the charts mean?..
@@AlexanderBorshak nothing really, i don't have a good explanation :)
i really like your content, but can you try modify the django to use uvicorn instead ? i'd like to see how much the different
such a nice series
thank you!
And there we go kids, don’t write web or system apps in python. Go isn’t that much harder, and a 10x better language.
in terms of performance 100%
@@AntonPutra In terms of performance, environment (managing python dependencies really sucks without containerization), weekly typed vs strongly typed ( python doesn't' have strongly typed variables).
You can probably sense I'm very anti python is the answer to everything... It has it's place, scripting and AI experimentation.
Next Go vs JS Express (or whatever would be the smallest usable JS framework) please
yes, express is next
@@AntonPutra thanks man! You really do the work for my project haha
Nice work as always.
Could you please do Laravel vs Express vs Django?
thanks! i'll do express next
That Python memory usage, may not be correct.
Garbage collected memory, should have spikes
I have a few metrics for memory, but this metric in the graph is actually used to OOM kill the pod by k8s.
Python uses reference counting primarily. So memory is freed as soon as it's no longer used versus at some later time, excepting cyclic references.
It makes sense
I would like to see go vs node.js😁
next
Laravel and Go please 🙏
ok noted! will do soon!
want Node vs Bun vs Deno
very very soon!
Database will always be the slowest part in your stack!
Why not MySQL vs PgSql vs Sqlite(WAL mode)
yes i was thinking about db comparisons, i may do them in near future as well kafka vs rabbit etc
so now that u can make websites with just go stdlib i wonder if there are any differences in performance when using something like echo
I haven't tested Echo yet, but those web frameworks have useful middleware, logging, rate limiting, etc.
The Robyn framework for Python could be really good (under the hood, it uses Rust 😁) compared to Golang.
interesting, will take a look!
Go vs Elixir, please
soon
Next flask vs expressjs
thanks, almost! :)
express vs go, then other js frameworks but I'll flask soon as well
Next elixir vs golang ?
soon, i promise 😊
I don't understand the caching that happens for go
How it is setup? Is it a default behavior? Like why is it doing it just when cpu is a 100%?
Yes, since I use the standard library, it doesn't have any rate-limiting capabilities, so it accepts each request. Eventually, all those requests fill up the memory, and it crashes. That's why you might choose a framework or at least implement it yourself.
DAMN son. sub 1ms execution time. What the hell. Too bad usually the connection to that api bumps it up to ~100ms+ xD
well, it's in the same VPC, so there's low latency
There's no python framework that would beat go
well, if python gets closer to what Go can do, that would be good enough
its not even close, people shouldn't be using python for API stuff, just do ur own data science or call C APIs for AI.
i want to test spark python vs java api now :)
Cool video, but I noticed that Debug mode is turned on for django in repo
I would also get rid of security and auth middlewares since you are not using auth and sec in go. Another thing is i18n. Django dev here 😂. Do you accept PRs?
thanks, no, it's turned on for local development only. for deploying to prod, it is turned off - github.com/antonputra/tutorials/blob/main/lessons/209/deploy/django-app/configmap.yaml#L23
sure, i would love to accept any PRs to improve both applications, just keep that in mind
local dev settings - github.com/antonputra/tutorials/blob/main/lessons/209/mydjango/mydjango/settings.py
prod settings - github.com/antonputra/tutorials/blob/main/lessons/209/deploy/django-app/configmap.yaml
this is a great series. Can you try go gnat and zig zzz libraries?
ok noted!
The rust war - Actix vs Rocket vs Axum
i have it already
Why is the CPU throttling graph showing python zig yet the test is for python and Go. I think you forgot to change that before deploying.
He noticed, he even put a small text at one timestamp. He likely just forgot to change the label.
thanks, it just copy paste mistake from the previous benchmark
Edit: i saw your channel
Why python try java , now that you mention it I really wanna know iam curious
will do
Go vs Django vs NextJS please!
ok, noted! express next, then other js frameworks :)
You should compare python to C# If I'm not mistaken the results are almost same?
😊
