Development of Projects and Applications with Django and Flask

What is Django

Django is a high-level Python web framework that encourages rapid development and clean project design. Django adheres to the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle, which enables the simplicity of making changes, high-quality testing and a high development speed without excessive code duplication.

Django Advantages

Scalability

The all inclusive principle

Security

Search engine optimization

Django provides the all inclusive work experience. Django tools include ORM for database access management, as well as templates for dynamic HTML documents. It helps speed up the development process, as a programmer does not need to re-develop the basic functions.

Django is a set of independent plugins that are connected and ready for use by default, but can be disabled at any time in case of non-demand and replaced with other specific solutions (for example: a payment system replacement). A perfect solution for high-load projects with heavy traffic.

Django has built-in protection against the most common security errors by default. The framework hides your website source code, generating web pages dynamically with the help of templates that send information to web browsers when viewed directly on the Internet.

The Python projects are distinguishable due to their clean and easy-to-read code, which is why such websites get on top of the search results. Django allows you to write comprehensible URLs using relevant keywords and implementing the relevant search engine optimization practices.

When to Use Django

Django is suitable for major high-load projects and applications: news and B2B portals, e-Commerce and other projects with the main focus on the end product.

Projects Where Django is Used

What is Flask

Flask is a web microframework for developing websites in Python. Its key principle is "simple tasks require simple solutions". Despite the fact that the Flask kernel is simple, it is quite easy to extend.

Flask Advantages

Most of the Flask framework is optimized to the greatest extent possible. There is a template engine, and there is a possibility of editing its interface if necessary.

Flask allows the programmer to fully control the development process. Due to a simple structure and syntax of the framework, the resulting code is clean and comprehencible.

Flask includes integrated unit tests, a built-in development server, a debugger and a query handler.

When to Use Flask

Flask is a perfect option for small websites that need maximum control over all project resources.

Projects Where Flask is Used

Our cases

Development of an international hackathon platform in Python

Objective

Develop a platform for a global hackathon with more than 10,000 participants.

Python is used as a backend for PWA (in particular, SPA) + Django. It makes the project more flexible and speeds up the overall development process.

Solution

The project is resistant to high loads, including the registration of participants from all over the world, organizers' work on sending and accepting tasks, forming teams by the participants and accomplishing tasks. The system supports a certain set of rules, validates the responses of each participant, compares them with the perfect solution, and verifies the compliance with multiple mandatory conditions.
