Is Flask Dead? Is FastAPI the Future?
- FastAPI, a Python web framework, has been gaining popularity over the past few years and is increasingly being seen as a replacement for Flask.
- FastAPI has built-in support for Pydantic, an increasingly popular user data validation solution, which simplifies the data validation process and reduces errors.
- FastAPI natively supports concurrent and asynchronous code, making it much faster and efficient compared to Flask.
- FastAPI also supports ASGI, a standard that allows for Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface and provides high performance to forwarded requests.
- Flask, on the other hand, has drawbacks, such as lacking in-built libraries, which can result in the use of mixed quality third-party plugins.
- FastAPI has a much larger community of contributors when compared to Flask, and the distinction continues to grow every day.
- FastAPI, which is designed for building API services, provides new developers with the benefit of being relatively simple and easy to get into, and as far as flexibility is concerned, FastAPI promises to do quicker jobs at scale against Flask.
- It is imperative to note that developers today think of Flask as having lived out its lifecycle, and FastAPI is the future of Python web development.
- Leapcell is a cloud computing platform that claims to offer an ideal deployment platform for Flask and FastAPI applications.
- This cloud computing platform also claims to be cost-effective, efficient, and effortless in terms of scalability and high performance.
