I built my own Python backend framework from scratch — Shakti 🚀

[u/Shakti-Framework]

​

After working with Python backend development for years, I wanted to build a framework that brings the things I repeatedly need into one place.

So I built Shakti, a Python backend framework focused on building modern APIs and applications faster.

Some of the things I’m working on:

- ⚡ Async-first architecture

- 🔐 Built-in authentication & RBAC

- 🗄️ Async ORM

- 🤖 AI integration

- 📄 Document AI

- 🔄 Background jobs

- 📡 SSE / streaming

- 🛠️ CLI & code generation

- 📊 Monitoring

- 💾 Database migrations

- 💉 Dependency injection

GitHub: https://github.com/shaktihq/shakti

PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/shakti-framework/

This is still an evolving project, and I’d genuinely love feedback from Python developers.

What would you want to see in a new Python backend framework?

WebSockets? Better developer tooling? More AI features? Something else?

I’m building Shakti in public and would love to hear your thoughts. 🙌

Nice

Thank You

FastAPI and Django still rule, tbh.

Absolutely! Django and FastAPI are already great and will continue to rule. Shakti isn’t trying to replace them ,I’m experimenting with a different approach by combining things like async, ORM, auth, background jobs, AI/document AI, and developer tooling into one framework. I’m building it in public to see if developers find that approach useful. Would love your feedback!
