VayuAPI Features
Performance & Concurrency
- Ultra-low latency: Response times under 0.5 microseconds
- Async-first: Built on asyncio and Starlette for maximum concurrency
- Native Concurrency: Thread/process pools, semaphores, connection pooling
- Low Overhead: Minimal abstractions, optimized request/response cycle
- Zero-Copy Operations: Efficient memory usage where possible
- Faster than FastAPI: Optimized routing and middleware pipeline
- Thread Pool Executor: Offload blocking I/O without blocking event loop
- Process Pool Executor: True parallelism for CPU-bound tasks (bypasses GIL)
- Semaphores: Control concurrent access to limited resources
- Connection Pooling: Reuse database connections efficiently
- Async Caching: LRU cache for frequently accessed data
- Request Batching: Optimize database queries
Concurrency Examples
# Thread Pool for blocking I/O (100+ RPS vs 0.2 RPS)
from vayuapi import run_in_thread
@app.get("/fast")
async def non_blocking_operation():
result = await run_in_thread(blocking_task, arg)
return {"done": True}
# Process Pool for CPU-intensive tasks (bypasses GIL)
from vayuapi import run_in_process
@app.post("/compute")
async def compute(data: list):
result = await run_in_process(cpu_intensive_task, data)
return {"result": result}
# Semaphores for resource limiting
from vayuapi import Semaphore
db_semaphore = Semaphore(10) # Max 10 concurrent DB connections
@app.get("/query")
async def query_database():
async with db_semaphore:
return await database.query()

import os
app = VayuAPI(
cors_enabled=True,
allowed_origins=["https://yourdomain.com"],
)
# JWT Authentication
jwt_handler = JWTHandler(
secret_key=os.getenv("SECRET_KEY"),
algorithm="HS256",
access_token_expire_minutes=30
)
# Encryption for sensitive data
aes = AESEncryption(key=os.getenv("ENCRYPTION_KEY"))
encrypted_data = aes.encrypt(sensitive_info)
@app.post("/login")
async def login(username: str, password: str):
if verify_credentials(username, password):
token = jwt_handler.create_access_token(data={"sub": username})
return {"access_token": token}
