I wish I could find the HN comment recently posted which eloquently explained why obsessing over webserver (and by extension, web framework) performance requests-per-second is foolish. The closest thing I could find is this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34002459 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34002459 The tl;dr is: server requests-per-second is meaningless without realistic loads involving databases and other dependencies. Typically the external factors dominate request processing time. There might be compelling reasons to spring for Robyn over Flask [0] or FastAPI [1] but RPS shouldn't be one of them.
