Flask vs FastApi 性能对比测试_fastapi和flask哪个好

Flask和Fastapi都是Python下流行的Web框架，前者有大量拥趸，是一个老牌框架，后者相对较新，但是利用了异步技术和uvloop，都说性能比Flask好很多，于是就我就对比实测一下。由于Windows下不支持uvloop，发挥不了Fastapi的性能，于是我的测试环境为：

Ubuntu 			  22.04.4
python 			  3.10
Flask             3.0.3
waitress          3.0.0
fastapi           0.110.1
uvicorn           0.29.0
uvloop            0.19.0

准备工作

测试代码非常简单，如下：

一、flask

# flask
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from flask import Flask


def create_app(test_config=None):
    app = Flask(__name__, instance_relative_config=True)

    if test_config is None:
        pass
    else:
        app.config.from_mapping(test_config)

    @app.route('/fk')
    def root():
        return {'result': 'Hello, flask111'}

    return app


if __name__ == '__main__':
    pass

二、fastapi

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-


from fastapi import FastAPI
# import uvloop  # windows 下暂不支持

app = FastAPI()


@app.get("/fa")
def read_root():
    return {'result': 'Hello, fastapi.22'}


if __name__ == '__main__':
    pass

由于waitress-serve默认是4线程运行，这里强制为1个线程，用waitress-serve运行flask命令如下：

waitress-serve --call --host='0.0.0.0' --port='8001' --threads=1 't_flask:create_app'
1

同时将uvicorn设置为1个worker（单个工作进程），用uvicorn运行fastapi命令如下：

uvicorn t_fastapi:app --host '0.0.0.0' --port 8005 --log-level error --workers 1

用ab工具测试并发如下：

从结果看出，fastapi只比flask快了 (1095.02 - 1049.32) / 1049.32 * 100 = 4.4%，优势不明显。

接下来使用4个线程或工作进程来测试：
flask和fastapi的启动命令分别为：

# flask
waitress-serve --call --host='0.0.0.0' --port='8001' --threads=4 't_flask:create_app'

# fastapi
uvicorn t_fastapi:app --host '0.0.0.0' --port 8005 --log-level error --workers 4

结论

开启4线程或4工作进程后，flask几乎一样，基本没有提升（1049.32 --> 1060.45）。而fastapi有显著性能提升（1095.02 --> 1453.58），但也不是4倍那么多。

所以说，多个工作进程的情况下fastapi是更好的，但flask性能也不差。也许是ab测试工具的问题，欢迎大家讨论。

fastapi有不少有点，比如支持异步、ws、自动生成文档、强调声明变量类型等。而flask就是轻量，上手快，没有的功能就是装插件，“可插拔”。
