- How to Create Your First API with Python, Flask and Azure
In this beginner-friendly guide, we will create a simple API using Python and Flask a lightweight and easy-to-use web framework for Python that allows developers to create APIs and web applications quickly. This API will take a number as input and return some basic properties, such as whether it is even or odd, and its square. We will also deploy the API so that it can be accessed from anywhere.

- Choosing Tech Stack in 2025: A Practical Guide
Python's renaissance in web development comes from FastAPI - my personal favorite nowadays - which brings modern async capabilities and automatic API documentation through Pydantic models. The framework feels designed for 2025, with type hints throughout and excellent developer experience. If your application needs to integrate with machine learning models, data processing pipelines, or scientific computing libraries, Python is often the only practical choice.
- Node.js vs Python: Real Benchmarks, Performance Insights, and Scalability Analysis
Node.js is 40ā60% faster in handling concurrent connections than Python due to its non-blocking I/O. Python, on the other hand, can outperform Node in CPU-bound computation only when optimized with C extensions or async frameworks like asyncio or FastAPI (FastAPI Docs).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Flask and fastapi you can also consider the following projects:
Tornado - Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library, originally developed at FriendFeed.
Django - The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines.
AIOHTTP - Asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python
django-unicorn - The magical reactive component framework for Django āØ
