Quart a asyncio alternative to Flask
[EuroPython 2018 - Talk - 2018-07-27 - Smarkets]
[Edinburgh, UK]
By Philip Jones
Flask is a great web mirco-framework, that is best utilised with
event-loop concurrency. Sadly with Flask the event-loop framework
can't be asyncio, although some extensions (Flask-Aiohttp) have
tried. Quart is the solution as it shares the Flask API and is
based on asyncio. In addition Quart goes beyond Flask adding
HTTP/2 and websockets.
This talk will outline why event-loop concurrency is a good
choice for web servers, why asyncio is a good choice and then
give an overview of Quart, demonstrating features that go beyond
the Flask framework.
