Django is the web framework most widely used by Python developers. Django offers a powerful toolkit for creating web applications, making it easier for developers to create complex web applications effectively and efficiently.

However, Django has weaknesses. When it comes to performance, flexibility of project structure, compatibility with other libraries, or creating microservices, Django is not the main choice, and usually, Python developers will choose to use FastAPI. Why?

FastAPI excels at building APIs and real-time applications, utilizing asynchronous programming and type hints, while Django, with its full-stack framework features, is better suited to traditional web applications with admin panels, user authentication, and more.

But, what if you could leverage the benefits of Django and get performance similar to FastAPI? I will introduce you to Django-ninja, a game-changing framework that seamlessly bridges this gap, offering web developers a versatile tool to build high-performance web APIs without compromising the power and flexibility of Django. For me, it was a combination between Django and FastAPI.

So, what is Django-ninja?
