What is the best website to deploy a flask app in 2025
Hey, I'm ready to deploy my first flask app and I'm looking for the best way to deploy it. Do you guys have recommendations for the best/cheapest/simplest way to deploy it in 2025. Here's some specifications about my project:
My website is relatively simple and mostly does requests to public APIs.
I'm expecting about 500-1000 visits per day, but the traffic might grow.
I have a custom domain, so the server provider needs to allow it (PythonAnywhere's free tier won't work).
I'm willing to spend a few dollar (maybe up to 30) per month to host it
I've heard of Pythonanywhere, Vercel, Render and Digitalocean, but I would like to have some of your opinions before I chose one. Also, I'm worried about waking up one day and realizing that someone spammed my website with a bot and caused a crazy bill. So, I was also wondering if some of these hosting providers had built-in protection against that. Thanks!

I benchmarked Python's top HTTP clients (requests, httpx, aiohttp, etc.) and open sourced it
Hey folks
I’ve been working on a Python-heavy project that fires off tons of HTTP requests… and I started wondering:
**Which HTTP client should I actually be using?**
So I went looking for up-to-date benchmarks comparing `requests`, `httpx`, `aiohttp`, `urllib3`, and `pycurl`.
And... I found almost nothing. A few GitHub issues, some outdated blog posts, but nothing that benchmarks them all in one place — especially not including TLS handshake timings.
**What My Project Does**
This project benchmarks Python's most popular HTTP libraries — `requests`, `httpx`, `aiohttp`, `urllib3`, and `pycurl` — across key performance metrics like:
* Requests per second
* Total request duration
* Average connection time
* TLS handshake latency (where supported)
It runs each library multiple times with randomized order to minimize bias, logs results to CSV, and provides visualizations with `pandas` \+ `seaborn`.
GitHub repo: 👉 [https://github.com/perodriguezl/python-http-libraries-benchmark](https://github.com/perodriguezl/python-http-libraries-benchmark)
**Target Audience**
This is for developers, backend engineers, researchers or infrastructure teams who:
* Work with high-volume HTTP traffic (APIs, microservices, scrapers)
* Want to understand how different clients behave in real scenarios
* Are curious about TLS overhead or latency under concurrency
It’s production-oriented in that the benchmark simulates realistic usage (not just toy code), and could help you choose the best HTTP client for performance-critical systems.
**Comparison to Existing Alternatives**
I looked around but couldn’t find an open source benchmark

Should I port my BE to Django?
Hi all,
I've been thinking about this for a while, but I'm stills unsure if I can justify the effort it will take.
I have a backend application written in python. I use SQLalchemy, flask rest and a few classes (pure python) that I made for the specifics of my project.
I spent a reasonable amount of time creating a generic DB class that implements similar things as Django (getone, getcreate, ....) and it works nicely. It also manages DB connections to master-replica cluster.
I miss a lot of the functionality of an admin panel..My understanding is that Django offers those built in, which is a great advantage...
The frontend (svelte) consumes API endpoints to Interact with the backend, so I won't be using views or they'll be just JSON responses.
The backend has two main funcionalities. In one hand, a bunch of scripts that work independently feeding info to the DB and the API that produces the info to the frontend.
All that is currently done in flask, which offers too much freedom to organise the code and I think it'll be a problem going forward. I understand Django is more rigid in that aspect.
So, is it worth port it to Django? What would you consider

Implemented 18 RL Algorithms in a Simpler Way
# What My Project Does
I was learning RL from a long time so I decided to create a comprehensive learning project in a Jupyter Notebook to implement RL Algorithms such as PPO, SAC, A3C and more.
# Target audience
This project is designed for students and researchers who want to gain a clear understanding of RL algorithms in a simplified manner.
# Comparison
My repo has (Theory + Code). When I started learning RL, I found it very difficult to understand what was happening backstage. So this repo does exactly that showing how each algorithm works behind the scenes. This way, we can actually see what is happening. In some repos, I did use the OpenAI Gym library, but most of them have a custom-created grid environment.

I am trying to build a site where users can manage their stock trades and adjust their trade settings. The problem i am having is trying to figure out how to run a bot that pulls information from their brokerage every second. I have all my models in place but i am unsure of how to set up scripts if they aren’t django apps, models, views or templates. I guess my question is where would i put this script? How can i have it run every second within my django app?

React with flask?
Hello!
I really like using flask for personal projects, my question is, is it still common to be writing your own custom html and JavaScript? It seems like most web frameworks now involve using react.
Is there ever a situation where it makes more sense to write your own custom JavaScript with html? Or will that never be as good as using React?
Thanks!

Cocommit: A Copilot for Git commit command
I wanted to share a project I worked on during my weather-non-cooperating vacation: a copilot for `git commit`.
# What My Project Does
This command-line application enhances last commit message (i.e., the current `HEAD`) using an LLM. It provides:
* A summary of the commit message quality.
* An analysis of its strengths and weaknesses.
* A suggested commit message for an optional amend.
The application uses LangChain to interact with various LLMs. Personally, I use Claude 3.7 via AWS Bedrock and OpenAI's GPT-4o.
The source code: [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/andrewromanenco/cocommit). And it is available with `pip install cocommit`.
# Target Audience
This tool is designed for software engineers. Personally, I run it after every commit I make, even when using other copilots to assist with code generation.
# Comparison
[Aider](https://github.com/Aider-AI/aider) is a full command-line copilot, similar in intent to GitHub Copilot and other AI-powered coding assistants.
Cocommit, however, follows a different paradigm: it operates exclusively on Git commits. By design, Git commits contain valuable context—both in terms of actual code changes and the intent behind them—making them a rich source of information for improving code quality.

safe-result: A Rust-inspired Result type for Python to handle errors without try/catch
Hi Peeps,
I've just released safe-result, a library inspired by Rust's Result pattern for more explicit error handling.
## Target Audience
Anybody.
## Comparison
Using safe_result offers several benefits over traditional try/catch exception handling:
1. Explicitness: Forces error handling to be explicit rather than implicit, preventing overlooked exceptions
2. Function Composition: Makes it easier to compose functions that might fail without nested try/except blocks
3. Predictable Control Flow: Code execution becomes more predictable without exception-based control flow jumps
4. Error Propagation: Simplifies error propagation through call stacks without complex exception handling chains
5. Traceback Preservation: Automatically captures and preserves tracebacks while allowing normal control flow
6. Separation of Concerns: Cleanly separates error handling logic from business logic
7. Testing: Makes testing error conditions more straightforward since errors are just values
## Examples
### Explicitness
Traditional approach:
def processdata(data):
# This might raise various exceptions, but it's not obvious from the signature
processed = data.process()
return processed
# Caller might forget to handle exceptions
result = processdata(data) # Could raise exceptions!
With safe_result:
@Result.safe

the backend doesn't support altering from IntegerField to AutoField.
Hello everybody.
I'm having issues with my models.py. I inherited a codebase from a few years ago which uses varios IntegerFields for its Primary Key.
At first it was fine but later on it started causing issues where it won't save rows properly, making me want to change the field to an Autofield as it should have been.
I'm using MSSQL where I can't alter into Autofields. I found a workaround where I delete the column from the id for 1 migration and recreate it, but it is very clunky as it deletes the values from the db and if the column is used as a foreign key elsewhere it becomes even clunkier to delete.
Wanted to know if anyone has any advice on how to more efficiently work around this. Preferably without deleting itema from the db.

D Why is table extraction still not solved by modern multimodal models?
There is a lot of hype around multimodal models, such as Qwen 2.5 VL or Omni, GOT, SmolDocling, etc. I would like to know if others made a similar experience in practice: While they can do impressive things, they still struggle with table extraction, in cases which are straight-forward for humans.
Attached is a simple example, all I need is a reconstruction of the table as a flat CSV, preserving empty all empty cells correctly. Which open source model is able to do that?

I made airDrop2 with 3.11.3 and Flask.
What My Project Does:
iLocalShare is a simple, no-frills local file-sharing server built with Python 3.11.3 and Flask. It lets you share files between Windows and iOS devices using just a browser—no extra apps needed. It works in two modes: open access (no password) or secure (password-protected).
Target Audience:
This project is perfect for anyone who needs to quickly transfer files between their PC and iOS device without using Apple’s tools or dealing with clunky cloud services. It’s not meant for production environments, but it’s a great quick and dirty solution for personal use.
Comparison:
Unlike AirDrop, iLocalShare doesn't require any additional apps or device-specific software. It’s a lightweight solution that uses your local network, meaning it won’t rely on Apple’s ecosystem. Plus, it’s open-source, so you can tweak it as you like.

Struggling with Django Deployment: WS, Celery, Docker, and Azure – Need Guidance!
Hey everyone,
I’m trying to deploy my Django backend, but this one is way more complex than what I’m used to. I’ve deployed DRF with a PostgreSQL DB and Redis cache on Azure Web App Service before, but this time, I’ve hit a lot of roadblocks.
Here’s the stack I’m dealing with:
* **Django + DRF**
* **Django Channels (WebSockets)** – I initially set up WS, then stumbled upon WSS, and things got messy. Eventually, it just didn’t work.
* **Celery + Redis** – Handling background tasks like email sending.
* **Celery Beat** – For scheduling tasks.
* **Dockerized app** – Everything is containerized.
I attempted deploying on **Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)**, and it worked—*but* I did everything manually (manifests, deployments, etc.), and I *need* a proper CI/CD pipeline. Plus, AKS is **costly**, and I’m wondering if there’s a better approach.
So my main questions are:
1. **What’s the best way to deploy this setup on Azure with a CI/CD pipeline?**
2. **Should I stick with AKS, or is there a more cost-effective alternative that supports WS & Celery?**
3. **Any recommendations on handling WSS properly in production?**
Would love to hear from anyone who’s deployed something similar! Any guidance or resources would be super helpful.
Thanks in advance!
