Starlette vs Flask
Developers should learn Starlette when building high-performance, asynchronous web APIs or microservices that require low latency and high concurrency, such as real-time applications, data streaming services, or IoT backends meets flask is widely used in the industry and worth learning. Here's our take.

Starlette
Nice PickDevelopers should learn Starlette when building high-performance, asynchronous web APIs or microservices that require low latency and high concurrency, such as real-time applications, data streaming services, or IoT backends
Pros
- +It's ideal for projects needing fine-grained control over request handling without the overhead of a full-stack framework, and it integrates well with ASGI servers like Uvicorn or Hypercorn
- +Related to: fastapi, asgi
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Flask
Flask is widely used in the industry and worth learning
Pros
- +Widely used in the industry
- +Related to: python
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Starlette if: You want it's ideal for projects needing fine-grained control over request handling without the overhead of a full-stack framework, and it integrates well with asgi servers like uvicorn or hypercorn and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Flask if: You prioritize widely used in the industry over what Starlette offers.
