Django vs Flask: which should you choose?
Django ships an ORM, admin, auth, and migrations out of the box, making it ideal for content-heavy apps where you want conventions and speed of delivery. Flask gives you a tiny core and lets you pick every component, which suits small services and teams that want control. Choose Django to move fast with batteries included; choose Flask for minimalism and flexibility.
