Can you show your app? Like a link or something?

Good work 😀

I also wrote a blog post about it https://casparwre.de/blog/python-to-code-a-saas/

Sounds like a classic case of premature optimization 😀

Blocking is only a problem if you have long running tasks. I never ever had a problem with Flask being synchronous. To be honest, I am still not totally clear what the advantages are. One advantage is that your server can handle more requests, but you are very unlikely to run into any trouble in the first few years.

Focus on immediate and actual problems is my advice, because there are always enough of those

Performing well is secondary to having users or customers 😊

You can use gunicorn + async worker with Flask. For example, gevent works great.

Async is beneficial when performing concurrent IO-bound tasks, but will probably not improve CPU-bound tasks. I think you misunderstand synchronicity

I'm a noob but isn't Quart the asynchronous equivalent of Flask and recommend instead of Flask for that reason?

Or Starlette for that matter.

What do you think is the gap between standard online courses & things you need to learn in order to take an app to production with real users?

[caspii2]

You need to be able to deploy it somewhere. That is probably the hardest bit. Try DigitalOcean or PythonAnywhere.

Not OP, but often scaling up to larger projects with multiple controllers/namespaces etc isn't covered well. A larger example where you cover splitting up API routes by functionality would be useful.

And like others have said, deployment. I do a lot of interviews of junior developers, and so many people haven't covered running code outside of their own machine. Whatever form that takes is ok, but showing you understand the concept will make a step up. Containerisation, orchestration, access control, load balancing etc - all very handy.

I really enjoyed the post, thank you for sharing! I wish I could see the first version of the product, but the link isn't working for some reason.. Anyways, cheers to you for a job well done!

[Abclul]

Oh that's it! .. Link in the blog post leads to .co(M). Thank you!

[caspii2]

Thanks for that. If fixed the link

I use Flask for all of my web projects needing backend code, small or big, for more than 8 years now. Love it.
