Python ORM with Rust engine promises faster reads

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer built yara-orm, an async Python ORM that uses a Rust engine via PyO3 for connection pooling, parameter binding, and row decoding. The API mirrors Tortoise ORM but offloads heavy lifting to Rust to bypass Python's GIL. Early benchmarks suggest significant speed improvements on read-heavy workloads.

Meridian48 take
The project is promising but early-stage; real-world gains will depend on adoption and maintenance of the Rust-Python bridge.
