Ever wondered what Flask looks like in production? Here are some insights into a Flask app with over 150 thousand users. Enjoy!
 🚀 How it started
 In 2016, I started a Flask tutorial because I had an idea for a simple app. I knew a little bit about HTML and CSS but almost nothing about database driven apps. I continued building on this codebase for nine years. Now, that same app has hundreds of thousands of registered users, earns thousands of revenue per month, and has changed my life forever.
 Despite its unglamorous beginnings I never rewrote the app from scratch, I just kept on adding to it (and sometimes taking away). Whenever I faced a problem or a challenging requirement, I churned, ground and didn't give up until it was fixed. Then I moved on to the next task.
 📊 Some stats
 Some usage stats:
  
400k visitors per month
 1.5 million page views per month
 8k signups per month with 180k signed-up users overall
 80 requests per second
  
Some code stats:
  
Python: 51,537 lines
 Vue/JavaScript: 193,355 lines
 HTML: 16,414 lines
 Total: ~261,000 lines of code
  
🏗️ The architecture and customizations
 OK, onto the code! Here is a top-level overview:
  
The main database is Postgres and I use Peewee as an ORM -- highly recommended and easier to learn than SQLAlchemy.
 I also use Google Firestore as a real-time database. The app writes to Firestore both from the frontend and the backend.
 The static frontend (landing pages, documentation) uses classic Jinja2 templating
 The app frontend uses Vue which is built by Vite
 A REST API allows communication between the Vue client and the backend
 The CSS framework is Bootstrap 5.
 Memcached is used for application-level caching and rate-limiting
 I use Paddle.com as my payment provider (instead of Stripe.com)
 Transactional emails (such as password reset mails) are sent via Sendgrid using the Sendgrid Python package
 Log files are forwarded to a log aggregator (Papertrail)
  
The app runs on two DigitalOcean servers (8 vCPUs, 16GB RAM each) using a blue-green deployment setup. During deployments, traffic switches between servers using a floating IP, allowing zero-downtime releases and instant rollbacks. The Postgres database (4 vCPUs, 8GB RAM) is fully managed by DigitalOcean. Nginx and Gunicorn serve the Flask app.
 Here are some notable features or customizations I have added over the years:
 🏢 Multi-tenant app
 As the app matured, it turned out I was trying to handle too many different use-cases. This was mainly a marketing problem, not a technical one. The solution was to split my app into two: the same backend now powers 2 different domains, each showing different content.
 How is this done? I use a @app.before_request to detect which domain the request comes from. Then I store the domain in Flask's g object, making it available everywhere and allowing the correct content to be displayed.
 🧪 Split Testing Framework
 A painful lesson that I had to learn is that you should not just make changes to your pricing or landing pages because you have a good feeling about it. Instead, you need to A/B test these changes.
 I implemented a session based testing framework, where every visitor to the app is put into a particular test bucket. Visitors in different test buckets see different content.

 I use flask-flatpages to render my markdown files, which works perfectly. I have added some customizations, the most notable one being the ability to include the same markdown "snippet" in multiple posts.
 ⚙️ Admin pages
 I built my own administration frontend, despite Flask having a ready-made package. Initially I only needed the ability to reset user passwords, so learning to use a new dedicated package was overkill.
 Then I began to add more functionality bit by bit, but only as it became necessary. Now I have a fully-fledged custom-built admin interface.
 💪 What was the hardest thing?
 The hardest issues I faced was setting up Gunicorn and nginx properly.
 As traffic increased, I would sporadically run into the problem of not enough workers being available. I was able to fix this by finally getting acquainted with:
  
connection pools for the database.
 The proper ratio of workers and threads.
  
Once these problems were sorted out, the app ran rock-solid, and I never had problems again.
 💭 Reflections on Flask
 So what are my feelings about Python Flask? Well, the simple truth is that it is the only web framework I know, so I have no comparison.

 A fundamental realization I had is that web frameworks have a very simple job. In the end, every framework does the following:
  
Receives a request
 Possibly query a database.
 Construct a response that is either HTML or JSON.
 Send the response.
  
That does not require something complex.
 Overall, I find many of the discussions about performance and modern development to be mystifying. Unless you have a very specialist application, you do not need to host your assets on "the edge".

I divided up models.py into different files in flask and I getting circular import errors. Does anyone have any suggestions?

This is a reusable project template for building modern, full-stack web applications entirely in Python, with a focus on rapid development for demos and internal tools.
 What My Project Does
 The template provides a complete, pre-configured application foundation using a modern Python stack. It includes:
  
 Backend Framework: FastAPI (ASGI, async, Pydantic validation)
  Frontend Framework: NiceGUI (component-based, server-side UI)
  Database: PostgreSQL (managed with Docker Compose)
  ORM: SQLModel (combines SQLAlchemy + Pydantic)
  Authentication: JWT token-based security with pre-built logic.
  Core Functionality: 
  Full CRUD API for items.
  User management with role-based access (Standard User vs. Superuser).
  Dynamic UI that adapts based on the logged-in user's permissions.
  Automatic API documentation via Swagger UI and ReDoc.
 
  
The project is structured with a clean separation between backend and frontend code, making it easy to navigate and build upon.
 Target Audience
 This template is intended for Python developers who:
  
 Need to build web applications with interactive UIs but want to stay within the Python ecosystem.
  Are building internal tools, administrative dashboards, or data-heavy applications.
  Want to quickly create prototypes, MVPs, or demos for ML/data science projects.
  
It's currently a well-structured starting point. While it can be extended for production, it's best suited for developers who value rapid development and a single-language stack over the complexities of a decoupled frontend for these specific use cases.
 Comparison
  
vs. FastAPI + JS Frontend (React/Vue): This stack is the industry standard for complex, public-facing applications. The primary difference is that this template eliminates the Node.js toolchain and build process. It's designed for efficiency when a separate JS frontend is overkill.
 
vs. Streamlit/Dash: These are excellent for creating linear, data-centric dashboards. This template's use of NiceGUI provides more granular control over page layout and component placement, making it better for building applications with a more traditional, multi-page web structure and complex, non-linear user workflows.
 
vs. Django/Flask (with Jinja templates): Django is a mature, "batteries-included" framework. This template offers a more modern, async-first approach with FastAPI, leverages Python's type hinting for robust data validation via Pydantic, and uses a live, interactive UI library (NiceGUI) instead of traditional server-side HTML templating.

 Me (backend dev) and my friend (Flutter dev) are working on our first real project for a client — a transportation app. It contains some real-time features like:
  
Notifications
 
Chat
 
Live driver tracking
 
 We’re a bit lost on how to implement this. Should we:
  
Build WebSockets on the backend for all of this?
 
Use Firebase directly from Flutter or the backend?
 
Or is there a better way we’re not thinking of?
 
 Stack:
 Backend: FastAPI
 DB: PostgreSQL
 Frontend: Flutter mobile app
 We’re new to real-time stuff, so any guidance would be amazing.
 Thanks!

<div class="md">Hi everyone! I’ve been working on a project called EHTML, an HTML-first approach to building dynamic pages using mostly HTML. It lets you handle things like templating, loops, conditions, data loading, reusable components, and nested forms — all without a build step or heavy JavaScript setup. I originally built it to simplify my own workflow for small apps and prototypes, but I figured others who prefer lightweight or no-build approaches might find it useful too. It runs entirely in the browser using native ES modules and custom elements, so there’s no bundler or complex tooling involved.

 Due to pydantic's strict approach, it's not really possible to build this directly, so I'm trying to use ValueError and @field_validator with a custom exception handler.
 @app.exception_handler(RequestValidationError) async def validation_exception_handler(request: Request, exc: RequestValidationError): errors = exc.errors() for err in errors: if "ctx" in err and err["ctx"]: err["ctx"] = { k: str(v) if isinstance(v, Exception) else v for k, v in err["ctx"].items() } return JSONResponse( status_code=status.HTTP_422_UNPROCESSABLE_ENTITY, content={"detail": errors}, ) 
 But it always stops at the first error. Understandably. Using a @model_validator(mode="after") will not work, since the responses need to be per field. Is there a better approach?

<div class="md">Hi everyone, I created my new opinionated Django base model template wanted to share with you. It works with Django 6.0 (releasing later this year) and Postgres 18. Here is explanation and below you can find the link to the source code: <ol> <li>Using UUIDv7 for id instead of incremental IDs. Now that Postgres 18 and Python 3.14 supports it, I think we are going to see more UUIDv7 adoption in the wild. Basically it provides the index performance of regular id&#39;s while hiding the sequence count. It also contains an internal timestamp which can be useful. For example, if you&#39;re generating random tokens that have some expiration date, you can naturally use uuidv7&#39;s to check expiration date without doing any database lookup! (of course you&quot;ll have your regular timestamps for the &#39;real&#39; expiration check).

Hi all, We are building machine vision based solutions for various industries. An e.g. scenario:
 Counting passing boxes on the conveyor line. 
  
The image is fetched from the camera.
 Object detection algorithms tracks if the box has moved past the counting line.
 if crossed, updates the counter.
  
For this entire application, can I develop a web app in Django which shows the following:
  
Total count
 Hourly count
 Live video feed
 Pages to download analytics reports.

<div class="md">So i am working on a education platform kind of project of my own, nothing for money or anything its just for learning. I have been through a few ideas of how it could be implemented, I need any advice or pointing me to the right direction if possible. The idea of the project is, one admin, teachers and students; students are allowed to register an account and submit a school application by filling in application documents, while the teachers aren&#39;t allowed to create an account in the traditional sense, they are allowed to apply for a teaching position by submiting a resume and other relevant information, then both teachers and students are &quot;frozen&quot; until the admin approves their application. Now for my implementation idea, a way it could maybe be done is by subclassing AbstractUser to add extra fields that i could need like profile picture, dob etc etc... Then make two extra tables one for students and another for teachers that would have a one-to-one relation with the user table, I would leverage the built-in is_active field of the user table to &quot;freeze&quot; Students and teacher once they apply and unfreeze them once they are approved, if they are rejected, keep them frozen as they would have a chance to apply again.

Google Oauth

<div class="md">Curious about your thoughts/opinions/experiences. I am at a Windows shop - not a linux server to be had (which makes me sad). Docker is not an option. Currently the setup is: Apache + mod_wsgi serving everything (static/media/django) and under heavy loads - it struggles despite the server being very beefy. I&#39;m pretty certain it&#39;s because of limitations relating to mod_wsgi on Windows specifically. What I was considering was Nginx + waitress (using whitenoise for static) Windows really is the problematic piece of all this from my researching - I&#39;m looking for any/all feedback on how to make this whole process a little easier / better / less problematic. Apache requires a lot of configuration, and mod_wsgi loses all the &#39;good stuff&#39; when running it on Windows so the performance is lack luster. Waitress doesn&#39;t appear to have a lot of those limitations and works much more similar to gunicorn (unavailable on Windows) from what I can tell. I thought: nginx as a reverse proxy + waitress as the server with Whitenoise bundling up the statics might be a bit more performant and easier to manage/maintain/configure when adding new projects. Maybe I&#39;m off my rocker and I should just stick with what (poorly) works. Any thoughts / ideas?

Windows For Production: Nginx / Apache? Waitress / mod_wsgi? What do you YOU use?

<div class="md">Hi everyone! I’ve been working on a project called EHTML, an HTML-first approach to building dynamic pages using mostly HTML. It lets you handle things like templating, loops, conditions, data loading, reusable components, and nested forms — all without a build step or heavy JavaScript setup. I originally built it to simplify my own workflow for small apps and prototypes, but I figured others who prefer lightweight or no-build approaches might find it useful too. It runs entirely in the browser using native ES modules and custom elements, so there’s no bundler or complex tooling involved. If you enjoy working close to the browser or like experimenting with minimalistic web development, you might find it interesting. Just sharing in case it helps someone or sparks ideas. Cheers!
