Well, that's too bad. I always thought this was a cool project. But if you can't dev your way into decent performance for a small alpha project using python/flask/sql, I don't think your tools are the problem. And I guarantee that a graphql isn't the solution.

So, I mean, good luck.

Performance is a secondary concern. SourceHut already has the best performance in the industry, built on Python:

But I think it could be even better, and this work will help. It will make it easier to write performant code without explicitly hand-optimizing everything.

There are more important reasons to consider GraphQL than performance, which I cover in detail in TFA.
