Express vs. FastAPI vs. Python vs. restify Comparison Chart

FastAPI is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.7+ based on standard Python type hints. Fast: Very high performance, on par with NodeJS and Go (thanks to Starlette and Pydantic). One of the fastest Python frameworks available. Minimize code duplication, multiple features from each parameter declaration.

A Node.js web service framework optimized for building semantically correct RESTful web services ready for production use at scale. restify optimizes for introspection and performance and is used in some of the largest Node.js deployments on Earth. Running at scale requires tracing problems back to their origin by separating noise from the signal. restify is built from the ground up with post-mortem debugging in mind. Staying true to the spec is one of the foremost goals of the project. You will see references to RFCs littered throughout GitHub issues and the codebase. restify is used by some of the industry's most respected companies to power some of the largest deployments of Node.js on planet Earth—the future of Node.js REST development. Setting up a server is quick and easy. Like many other Node. js-based REST frameworks, restify leverages a Sinatra-style syntax for defining routes and the function handlers that service those routes.
