Why does Perplexity use FastAPI over say Django? Clearly they are doing well and could have done well with either but I'm curious why they went with FastAPI over a more tried and tested framework like Django. The only proof I've found they use FastAPI on the backend are the job postings.(https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/perplexityai/jobs/4601047007)
