Depending on how far in you are, starlite/litestar has good documentation and offers another "batteries included" framework. Performance wise it's about the same and the stack is about the same. Fastapi suffers from the "one solo dev in Nebraska" paradigm (check out open prs and old tickets). For me the main draw of litestar is the batteries + better docs + more active development with multiple developers vs most other python web frameworks.

+1 for litestar[1]. The higher bus-factor is nice, and I like that they're working to embrace a wider set of technologies than just pydantic. The framework currently lets you model objects using msgspec[2] (they actually use msgspec for all serialization), pydantic, or attrs[3], and the upcoming release adds some new mechanisms for handling additional types. I really appreciate the flexibility in modeling APIs; not everything fits well into a pydantic shaped box.

I haven't heard of Starlite or Litestar before. Is one a fork of the other? Their documentation intro text is identical:

> {Litestar|Starlite} is a powerful, flexible, highly performant, and opinionated ASGI framework, offering first class typing support and a full Pydantic integration. > > The {Litestar|Starlite} framework supports Plugins, ships with dependency injection, security primitives, OpenAPI schema generation, MessagePack, middlewares, and much more.

starlite was the original name, it was recently renamed to litestar due to comments about how easily confused "starlette" and "starlite" are.

data point in favor of the renaming: while reading GP, I've assumed that "starlite" is a typo for "starlette."
