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.
