Perplexity and FastAPI

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)
