Open-source Python framework

Hayavega

Welcome to Hayavega — a Python web framework benchmarked openly against FastAPI, Django, and Rust-core alternatives like Robyn and Granian, with every result published, including the ones it doesn't win.

A conventional, batteries-included project structure. Automatic, interactive API documentation, generated from your code. A Rust core where it actually wins the benchmark, and honestly disclosed where it doesn't.

Get started

Why Hayavega

• Batteries included, honestly documented

  ---

  Auth (password reset, email verification, session rotation), admin, migrations, CSRF, rate limiting, and a security-review checklist all ship in the box. Every claim in these docs links to a real test.

• Wins on published, reproducible benchmarks

  ---

  Real oha load tests, reproducible methodology, losses disclosed alongside wins. See the performance page for the numbers, not adjectives.

• Rust where it measurably helps

  ---

  A native Rust WSGI server (2–3× faster than a reference pure-Python WSGI server across every benchmarked scenario — see the performance page), TLS via rustls, and Signals' worker-pool dispatcher — each one benchmarked before shipping, including the ideas that didn't pan out.

• REST, GraphQL, and ASGI — one auth system

  ---

  api_route generates OpenAPI/Swagger automatically. A hand-written GraphQL engine with depth limits and introspection control. async def views under ASGI with zero migration for existing sync code.

• A real migration system

  ---

  Transactional, checksummed migrations with schema-diff detection, not a toy. SQLite, PostgreSQL, and MySQL/MariaDB all covered by CI.

• Built to be tested

  ---

  TestClient and AsyncTestClient drive your app in-process with no real server needed — the same tooling this project's own 415+ tests run on.

Open http://127.0.0.1:8000/openapi.json and the endpoint is already documented — no extra decorator, no separate spec file.

This site is new

This documentation site is a fresh build, not a reformatted copy of the project's existing README.md/DEPLOYMENT.md. Those files still exist at the repository root and stay accurate — this site is the deeper, browsable reference they now point to.
