Flask 2.0 async or not async

  • asynchronous support in Flask 2.0 is an amazing feature
  • however, use it only when it has a clear advantage over the equivalent synchronous code
  • write asynchronous code, if your application's routes, etc. are making heavy I/O-bound operations, like:
    • sending emails, making API calls to external servers, working with the file system, etc
  • otherwise, if your application is doing CPU-bound operations or long-running tasks, like:
    • processing images or large files, creating backups or running AI/ML models, etc
    • it is advised to use tools like "Celery" or "Huey", etc.

Check emails/__init__.py to see how emails being sent in async mode

Primary Goals

  • To help you save lots of hours as a developer, even if for a hobby project or commercial project :-)
  • To provide basic features of standard web apps, while staying as unopinionated as possible
  • To make back-end development quick to start, with robust foundations
  • To help you quickly learn how to build a Flask based web application
