FastAPI, Flask or Django - Which Should You Use?

[@mr_don_key]

Django is very fast (it might be the slowest of the three, but it's relative), you can easily serve 1000's of connections per minute (and even do async if you want), so for most websites, it's way fast enough (we're not fortune 500 sites).

[@jaimel8219]

Django async support in 2024 is awful.

[@mr_don_key]

@@jaimel8219 define "awful"?

[@Your_mom_calls_me_luka]

Exactly. People talking speed like they are the next facebook or whatnot but in reality most of them have 100 active users at best

[@riyansh3396]

I started with Flask it made me understand the flow and basics and then I started Django that made me aware of some really cool reasons why Django is used in companies and its advantages and then I am doing internship so here I am working on fastapi which is pretty much similar to Express so now I know advantages of fastapi and why its called fast.

[@y2ksw1]

I use Flask, because it allows me to make temporary decisions based on short term requirements more easily. The usage of Blueprints for example makes it very modular and easy to change. I tried Django before, but was overwhelmed by too much magic behavior.

[@TheAremoh]

Honestly the behavior is magical. I'll hardly pick for an api project. For web apps, I can make do with the magic

[@esrx7a]

Now I clearly understand what to use first and why. Thanks Tim.

[@trueuno8559]

Django’s setup only takes 10minutes though if not less Create project Cd project Create app Connect app in settings Include your urls and a few little tweaks and than only can you start with the good staff with template, views and models Comes with SQLite aswell Perfect for beginners I think most beginners should start with Django just to know the structure of a real world web app/software Powerful I tell you I use Django for web apps and react native for mobile Most of my mobile apps are api based anyways so I just call/get my requests from my web apps server

[@ArMor-dp7nb]

Bro are you using django full stack or as a backend only? Do you use it with react? Thank you in advance bro if you answer my dumb question🙏🏻

[@nandamvyshnavi5075]

This comparison is wonderful , Thanks Tim !!

[@justasydefix6251]

We choose django not because it is django but because of its plugins. Django is the slowest among the three until you install the plugins with the most optimized algorithms on python on django then it beats them all. Take for example, Django-tree, django-filter, django-auth is the most complete auth out of the tree. Django rest framework is the most comprehensive REST framework that other frameworks from other languages try to copy from its features. Django is the most complicated out of the three but the most supported one by organization and companies. Bear with it.

[@monkmodelandon2024-kh6ot]

honestly, just bite the bullet and go with Django. Once you get the hang of django, it's the only framework you'll want to use.

[@GuiltyNoticer]

true

[@nalaklak]

True, plus for your api you can use django rest framework

[@apexherbert]

Currently learning fastapi. Looks nice

[@MoonyongKim]

Thanks for the comparison. I think I will go with FastAPI, hoping this will benefit the most for the long term goal, large scale application

[@Dixter1520]

Awesome video. No nonsense, just dense information. Exactly what i was looking for.

[@AaronGayah-dr8lu]

Had debated that choice for a long time. Appreciate this breakdown.

[@thrasosthrasos7353]

I'm using Django without ORM and without templates and it is works quite well. Achieving more complex queries with ORM has to much performance penalties or is impossible, so I'm using it only for table User related things. Instead of templates I'm using Vue templates on the client side. Apache configuration was a little tricky, but after a few weeks of experimentation is started to work as expected. ASGI is possible with Django, but I've got impression it is not ready 100%. The main reason why I need ASGI is to run two query in parallel but AFAIK it is not possible with current Django.

[@111sam1]

I’ve used django in the past and it is great although it requires a lot of boilerplate code. I then tried fast API, which I find so much more intuitive and easy to write. It’s also incredibly customisable.

[@tokyo.4364]

[@UzairUllah_401]

[@Jaybearno]

Which would you recommend for the best ORM? In terms of config simplicity and compatibility? I see a lot of fast API based projects with shiny new ORM extensions, but they seem to all be built off SQL alchemy. Best to just start with flask and vanilla sql alchemy?

[@thomasdb6126]

Recently at work, we conducted a performance comparison between Django and FastAPI, and interestingly, Django outperformed FastAPI in terms of speed.

[@amogoose2971]

did you use async for fastapi?

[@mikesturyan9]

I build all my apis and websites with fastapi. I have been paying attention to the robyn project as it has potential for a lot of performance since it is built over rust.

[@natnaelabayneh7664]

Do u recommend me to learn fast api if i just want a quick way to build apis for flutter?

[@prime_soldier27]

Hi, Tim. Which one would you recommend for an ML engineer?

Typically for an ML engineer, you'd deploy a model via an API. For that, sticking to the more API focused framework (FastAPI) would be ideal.
