Integrate Python ASGI with Node.js Apps
Platformatic releases @platformatic/python, enabling Python ASGI applications to run directly inside Node.js processes. The integration eliminates network overhead by using interprocess communication instead of HTTP calls between services. Built on a Rust bridge layer with the http-handler crate, it provides seamless request/response translation between Node.js and Python. Developers can embed FastAPI, Django, or custom ASGI apps alongside Node.js workloads, particularly useful for AI/ML inference, real-time data processing, and gradual migration scenarios. Benchmarks show competitive performance with traditional ASGI servers while offering microsecond-level latency through in-process architecture.
