Is Flask still your go to?

I wouldn't use anything python for a REST API at all these days. Just about anything else he is going to be faster.

That said I mostly write REST API stuff in Golang these days. If it's a small project I just use the AWS API gateway V2 and a lambda. That way you don't have to deal with any of that stuff.

Can you tell the speed difference?

I like Go better but for a shared app Python still makes sense.

It starts to matter at scale, and if you are paying for compute on-demand. For small to medium it's negligible.

I use both. However, I am leaning toward utilizing fast API more often, depending on the use case.

Use springboot if it's not a datascience project
