# Comparações

As comparações independentes da TechEmpower mostram as aplicações **FastAPI** rodando com Uvicorn como <a href="https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=test&runid=7464e520-0dc2-473d-bd34-dbdfd7e85911&hw=ph&test=query&l=zijzen-7" class="external-link" target="_blank">um dos _frameworks_ Python mais rápidos disponíveis</a>, somente atrás dos próprios Starlette e Uvicorn (utilizados internamente pelo FastAPI). (*)

Porém, ao verificar benchmarks e comparações você deve prestar atenção ao seguinte:

## Benchmarks e velocidade

Quando você verifica os benchmarks, é comum ver diversas ferramentas de diferentes tipos comparados como se fossem equivalentes.

Especificamente, para ver o Uvicorn, Starlette e FastAPI comparados entre si (entre diversas outras ferramentas).
