Django VS Flask - Which Should You Learn

[@Anas_Alaqeel]

As a current Django developer and former Flask developer, I can attest that Django seems overly complex, with too much "magic" that just works without clear understanding. This means if something breaks, it's often hard to fix or replicate the same 'magic' that Django performs. Django can hinder learning and building from scratch, which may lead to being a follower rather than an innovator.

So basically use flask until I need to switch over to Django

[@adityanjsg99]

Start with Flask, no need to wait. Django is superset of what flask can do

[@Jackson_Zheng]

@@adityanjsg99 I ended up using FastAPI

[@TrilioniME]

What I don’t like about Django is Django Rest Framework. Will it be a good practice to use Django with another framework for API?

[@Bobble2520]

I learned Flask first. When using a database, Django was easier, but SQL is a skill so that was coo.. but making the server and API, I like better in flask

[@DIY_Foodie]

fast is even better​@@Bobble2520

[@xandermidov]

I recomend Flask for newbie developers. It's much easier to understand how basically such frameworks works.

[@tomasz3122]

Noo it's totally the other way around. Django is more newbie friendly because you can't really break something in there.

[@Man-si9xf]

I don't think so, flask is for experienced programmers who customize things for themselves. Django is better to understand how the framework works then flask

[@xandermidov]

@@Man-si9xf with flask you can easily understand how engine works from one file and couple strings of code. With more expanding it you learn more from flask, step by step. Django shows you a big application an you lost in it.

[@Man-si9xf]

@@xandermidov i agree with you

Beginners are looking for a battery included framework, hence Django ftw. Tutorials on my channel 😊

[@clashingtv2527]

I'm using flask and I have already created e commerce website, job portals, blogs, and e tech platform 😂 Trust you suffer a lot while using flask to authenticate, admin panel but it's good for understanding how things work. Now I'm going shift to django

Hey, how was the transition period from flask to django? Did you do it?

[@bigpickles]

My advice to newbies is to learn django. You'll pick up flask in half a day and know both that way.

[@CodingGeek101]

Agree. It's like: learn css, don't jump to bootstrap tailwind or figma. I learned all these in a day each after learning css to the core

[@dakoderii4221]

Django was easier for me as well. With Flask, I didn't know what I didn't know. With Django, I could see the various pieces that I needed to learn about and then learn about them.

[@yesyes9698]

@@dakoderii4221really like Django for this. Feels very organized. More like build a bit here then connect it here and tweak here and there.

I'm taking a web programing course in university this year and to my surprise, the latter half of the course will be using Django. I'm quite excited

[@cerberusrap]

Just dive into Django. I did this when I started and I am happy now.

[@islekcaganmert]

I have a startup most of the products are written in flask. Now, it is turned into an API + basic redirect links. Flask was the best for us since it doesn't have anything built in and wants all from out. Now we have our own microframework, so it is the one fits best to us.

[@Lunolux]

i have 5 web using flask, 1 bottle, and 1 django, i prefere flask over django but i never really use all the potentiel of django and found more easy to use flask

[@Nidal_C]

starting with django is the best way ^^

[@Dogberto999]

Flask has tons of extensions to make up for that though, like Flask-SQLAlchemy (ORM) or Flask-JWT-Extended for auth etc. A lot of people just don't know how to implement factory pattern with something like Flask-RESTful classes.

[@movrew]

Exactly and flask is more flexible than Django

[@govindbarwa1806]

I dont think SqlAlchemy has orm in flask

[@WHT_-ue2rl]

Django VS Flask - Which Should You Learn Answer: Both of them Also you can familiarize yourself with fastapi

[@user-Red_Haired1984]

I thought the same.

[@alien8tiv]

Been using Flask for a while now and works well for my small projects. Been checking out Django since my latest hobby project is growing quite big and with a ton of routes, I hope Django is the solution. Thanks Tim

[@R00kTruth]

tbh you should use both, use flask as a sandbox to get your website/project to how you want and feel including your admin panel/database etcs, as it's easier to setup and navigate, once everything is how you want, then start the proceed of transferring it to Django,

[@kamal-hassan]

I prefer Flask even though I've learnt Django before Flask.

[@khalilgaming-d6c]

any reason for that? , which is better though ?

[@simplypixels1097]

Your lighting is making you look like a telltale character.

[@AtomTiger3460]

What about FastAPI?

[@Gaer56]

Similar with Flask. Never used Flask but it goes similar way in terms of fast hobby project.

[@stephenthumb2912]

To me unlike Flask or Django, FastAPI should be used for API's, pretty much only. Trying to manage app state with FastAPI you'll need to do it yourself while in Django amd Flask you have built in auth and lots of vetted libraries, FastAPI basically has 1 library that can handle user app state and i don't even like it.

[@adityanjsg99]

New one, small size community. Good for small stand alone apps. Not scalable.

[@48_subhambanerjee22]

I use nextjs woth flask.. i am an insane person

[@dasaauploads1143]

FastAPI is pretty similar to Flask, but it supports async operations and the same ORM as Django. It's also much faster. But it requires as much work as in Flask for setting a whole app. In the company where I work, we migrate our Django endpoints to a FastAPI API. Since it is lighter it saves a lot of resources in the cloud. Django Rest Framework is still pretty good if you want to create CRUDs in 15 minutes.

[@ViralKiller]

I prefer writing my own Auth

[@IffyEdem]

I’ll probably do that as an extra measure

[@VamsiKrishna-pp4fy]

Flask and django are used by many tech gaints also. so either one would be fine

[@IffyEdem]

Flask has authentication modules

[@Andrew-Tsegaye]

Tim, do you have an editor, or do you edit yourself?

[@noobzaebot]

Django has admin panel out of the box. A bit slower perhaps

[@samblanton967]

You say it like Flask can’t be used at scale, but that’s simply not true.

[@princeoftech001]

He didn't say that

[@olivierpicq3481]

I feel that is is misleading. I use Flask for big projects in my company. I like its flexibility and whatever you want to add, there are modules for it and blueprints enable to structure your code nicely. Django forces me to do things its specific way or use things that I don’t need and I don’t like it.

[@thescaredghost]

The only thing I miss whenever I am working with other frameworks or languages is the Django Admin. I think that's the only special thing about Django for me.

[@nejdetyucesoy]

Despite you have some good points, "use flask for your hobby projects" is kinda superficial.

[@deepbarankar2852]

I mainly work with Tornado and Bottle. If you are a working professional, then I believe, become framework agnostic and embrace Python very deeply. But for a personal project, I would always go with flask (Personal preference).

[@arthurmaul3284]

what are tornado and bottle, ive never heard of those before

[@mista_ia]

But even until 2023, it is very difficult to get Django works with a NoSQL (as DJANGO is ORM oriented,) which makes that full stack framework not enough flexible

[@MixeilCheishvili]

Django works best when database queries are simple, but it becomes a painful experience when they become complex. there is nothing to discuss here; I am speaking from experience. Additionally, there aren't many ways to switch back on advanced orms like SQLAlchemy; despite there are projects like Aldjemy, all I tried was a waste of time. Do not use Django if you plan to use complex/optimized queries and you are concerned about query optimization
