SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Django developers often face bottlenecks in high-traffic APIs. Django Bolt combines Rust-powered performance with Django's ORM and ecosystem to deliver ultra-fast endpoints without abandoning Django tooling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Rust-backed HTTP core (Actix Web) for high throughput while preserving Django integration
  • PyO3 bridge enabling seamless Python-Django interoperability
  • Async ORM support with OpenAPI auto-generation and built-in auth in Rust
  • Suitable for API-only Django services needing scalable endpoints, modern auth, and easy migration from DRF

Quick Start

Install django-bolt and run the server to start serving ultra-fast APIs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I improve Django API throughput for high-traffic endpoints?

Improve Django API throughput by offloading critical execution paths to a Rust-powered Actix Web backend. This approach uses a PyO3 bridge to maintain Django ORM interoperability while delivering blazing-fast request processing.

Can I use async ORM integration with Django and OpenAPI auto-generation?

Yes, async ORM integration with Django supports OpenAPI auto-generation. This is achieved through a Rust-powered backend that handles modern auth and msgspec-based serialization natively for high-throughput API services.

What is the best way to migrate from Django REST Framework to a Rust backend?

Migrate from DRF to a Rust backend by using a PyO3 bridge to connect Django with Actix Web. This allows you to serve API-only Django services with scalable endpoints while keeping your existing Django ORM and tooling intact.

Does Django Bolt work with existing Django authentication and ORM models?

Django Bolt works with existing Django ORM models through seamless Python-Django interoperability enabled by the PyO3 bridge. It also provides built-in auth handled natively in Rust for the high-throughput API endpoints.

Are there limitations when replacing DRF with a Rust-powered Django API?

A limitation of replacing DRF with a Rust-powered Django API is that it targets API-only services. It requires understanding Rust Actix Web and msgspec serialization, making it unsuitable for traditional Django server-rendered HTML views.
