When to Use Flask vs Django?

Use Flask When

• Your project is simple and needs a bunch of customization
• You want to build microservices
• When you want to work with NoSQL databases
• Although there are general guidelines, the structure of the project purely depends on the developer
• Flask is fairly easy to learn

Use Django When

• Your project involves a bunch of CRUD operations
• I wouldn’t recommend Django for microservices, it’s an overkill
• Django is meant for working with relational databases
• Django is great for internal facing
• Django has strong bounds around how to struture your project
• Django has a steep learning curve
• Django provides tooling for authentication, email, messaging etc., out of the box
