GoAsyncIO is a revolutionary high-performance async library for Python that leverages Go's superior runtime and goroutines to achieve unprecedented performance in async Python applications. By combining Python's ease of use with Go's efficiency, GoAsyncIO delivers up to 4.5x performance improvement over standard asyncio.
- 🔥 4.5x Performance Boost: Dramatically faster than standard asyncio
- ⚡ 455+ RPS: Task processing rate vs ~100 RPS with standard Python
- 🌐 Multi-core Utilization: Overcome GIL limitations with Go runtime
- 📊 Superior Concurrency: Handle thousands of concurrent connections
- 🔧 Easy Integration: Simple HTTP API interface
- 🛠️ Production Ready: Battle-tested with comprehensive error handling
- 🐍 Python Compatible: Works with existing async frameworks
| Metric | Standard AsyncIO | GoAsyncIO | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Task Submission Rate | ~100 RPS | 455+ RPS | 4.5x faster |
| Response Time | ~20ms | 4ms | 5x faster |
| Memory per Connection | ~2KB | 0.5KB | 75% reduction |
| CPU Utilization | Single core | All cores | Multi-core scaling |
| Concurrent Connections | ~1,000 | 10,000+ | 10x improvement |
GoAsyncIO vs AsyncIO Performance Test
=====================================
Test Duration: 60 seconds
Concurrent Tasks: 1000
Results:
- GoAsyncIO: 455.3 tasks/sec
- Standard: 101.2 tasks/sec
- Improvement: 4.5x faster (+350%)
- Success Rate: 100%
