Investigate FastAPI and possibly switch from Flask to FastAPI

Open fgypas opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It seems that FastAPI is much more efficient than Flask and has some great features.

Describe the solution you'd like I think it would be great if we (first) investigate and (later) switch the back-end from Flask to FastAPI

@vsoch Do you have any experience with FastAPI (in comparison to Django or Flask)?

I've heard of FastAPI and have seen how it can be used alongside, but my preference is for using fewer dependencies, and also more stable (less new) things, so I haven't had the incentive to use it. I would want to see evidence that a Flask or Django API is not sufficiently fast for a use case before deciding it's needed.
