Fair feedback. Demo, video, and use case tutorials are in the works! stay tuned

Agreed!

One differentiator among others: try finding a stack with full self-hosted auth. Most push you toward third parties! I wanted to own my users.

Awesome, glad it fits! Will be posting more tutorials and use cases soon. Let me know how it goes

Thanks! Felt like a nice break from the usual generic SaaS aesthetic

Appreciate it! Sometimes the right tool wins over the familiar one :)

Say more on this, your chosen stack?

How far did you have to stray from your “actual stack” for package-ability, for instance?

Neat project - especially as pure FOSS.

This is my actual stack, been using Enferno for years, ReadyKit is just the SaaS layer on top. No straying, more like cleaning up what I already run in production.

Stack choices: Flask for its elegant simplicity without hidden conventions, Vue with Vuetify over CDN to skip build-tool pain (massive productivity and time win btw), PostgreSQL because boring is reliable, Redis (optional) for sessions and caching, and Celery when background jobs are needed (optional too)

Python is having a moment right now, between the AI ecosystem, Astral tooling and a huge talent pool. I think calling it the worst choice is a stretch :)

The real question is not raw speed. It's how fast you ship, how many users you need before performance matters and whether you actually own your stack. Most modern solutions push you toward third party auth. This gives you full self hosted auth out of the box.

Scale problems are good problems to have.

Appreciate it! and congrats on your two! SaaS is indeed a fun ride :)

For sure it depends on the requirement/use cases, but I think most performance issues have nothing to do with the framework. It's usually N+1 queries, missing indexes or no caching etc... Fix those first.

People chase FastAPI for speed, but if your bottleneck is the database or any network bound work, using async vs sync framework barely matters. Premature optimization is real.

Flask handles production traffic perfectly fine. And by the time it doesn't, you will know exactly where the real bottleneck is.

Ha, good catch. That is an old deployment script that could use some love.

I'll work on a modern quick deploy option for ReadyKit. I have an Ansible playbook that handles single server deployments, the monolith old school approach I still prefer. It just needs a bit of cleanup before it's shareable.

Open to feature requests too. If one click deploys to Fly.io, Railway or similar would help, I can add that. Let me know what would be useful.

I think CI/CD to those platforms would be more useful than “one click deploy”. Submit your changes - 2 minutes later it’s deployed.

Good call. That's next on the list!

Thanks for starring!

Honestly, open source changed my life. I've built my own products on this stack. https://mixedcrm.com for example runs on Enferno, along with many several other projects of different sizes. It's been my go to foundation for years.

After taking so much from the ecosystem, giving back just felt right. And value has a way of coming back, whether through contributions, feedback, connections or simply knowing the code is being battle tested by more than just me :)
