May be Rust can speed Django projects ?

I was trying to plugin pyo3 build Rust '.so' files(dynamic libraries) to Django. Looks like its not that difficult, we can copy and paste the file to Django folder. Once the file avaliable in Django folder , it will allow us to import the Rust dynamic library functions to your Django views.

Step1: create the Rust program as library using pyo3 and build the file using cargo build. Remember to put the crate-type "cdylib". I used manual build and copy .so file . Remember to keep the python module name and .so file name as same. https://pyo3.rs/v0.15.1/

Step2 Create your normal Django helloworld App

Step3 Copy the .so file to your Django project folder and import it in your views.py file, then you should be able to run django server .

Benchmark HTTP Latency with wrk

 

Recently I started reading through Actix-web, Django,tokio etc, so thought of bench marking the latency. Started with Django as it is pretty easy get started and its in python.

 

looks like wrk ( https://github.com/wg/wrk )  is a good tool to start with. 

"wrk is a modern HTTP benchmarking tool capable of generating significant load when run on a single multi-core CPU. It combines a multithreaded design with scalable event notification systems such as epoll and kqueue."

Installation also pretty easy in Ubuntu:

1. sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev git -y

2. git clone https://github.com/wg/wrk.git wrk

3. cd wrk/

4. sudo make

5. sudo cp wrk /usr/local/bin

Run your Django server using 

python manage.py runserver

 

then another terminal you can run your wrk as below

 

wrk -t12 -c400 -d30s --latency http://127.0.0.1:8000

 I only had single page and not much custom files in the Django and not data base request. Not sure this is a good response .. Please share your comments.

 Also got something like this Django logs as well.

[27/Mar/2021 17:39:14] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 196
[27/Mar/2021 17:39:14] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 196
Exception happened during processing of request from ('127.0.0.1', 33856)
[27/Mar/2021 17:39:14] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 196
[27/Mar/2021 17:39:14] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 196

I am planning to try this same experiment with actix-web and Rust , will share once I have something..

 

Yew App - Sudoku solver

How would be a Yew app Sudoku solver ?

sudoku solver can  basically be  a backtracking algorithm . Last month I implemented a Rat-Maze problem solver with Yew App. But it does not look visually much attractive to some of my friends. So thought of doing a sudoku solver with same code modifying the logic for sudoku.
