🥝 The Officially Unofficial, Shamelessly Sarcastic Guide to MicroPie

🚀 Benchmark: Large File Uploads

MicroPie is built around streaming-first multipart handling, with no heavyweight form parsers.
This design keeps memory usage low and avoids the double-copy overhead seen in other frameworks.

We benchmarked a 13.4 GiB file upload against FastAPI, Litestar, and Starlette on the same machine.

Results

Benchmarking Python Web Frameworks: Blacksheep, Starlette, MicroPie, Quart, FastAPI

I created minimal apps for each framework, all returning {"Hello": "World"} as JSON. They ran on Uvicorn with a single worker for baseline performance. Tests hit http://127.0.0.1:8000 with wrk (15s, 4 threads, 64 connections).

Blacksheep

from blacksheep import Application, get, json

app = Application()

Benchmarks for MicroPie v0.9.9.8

Extremely simple comparisons between fast ASGI frameworks. Each framework used uvicorn as the server using uvicorn file:app --workers 4. Tests were performed on a Dell XPS 13 with 16GB of RAM.

MicroPie

from MicroPie import App

class Root(App):
