Overview

Django-Bolt is an innovative API framework that leverages the power of Rust to deliver high-performance capabilities while integrating seamlessly with Django projects. Designed to provide a compelling alternative to popular frameworks like Django REST Framework and Django Ninja, it offers the speed of Rust-powered endpoints with the familiar features of Django. With the ability to handle over 60,000 requests per second, it paves the way for developers seeking efficient API solutions without compromising the ease of use inherent in Django's ecosystem.

The project is still under active development, promising more features and enhancements in the future. For developers looking to harness the power of Rust for performance-critical applications while maintaining the rich functionalities provided by Django, Django-Bolt represents a forward-thinking solution that redefines what developers can expect from an API framework.

Features
