Frequently Asked Questions
Use Flask Blueprints to organize routes into modules. Server Compass supports the Application Factory pattern with separate configs for development and production. Consider Flask-RESTful or Flask-RESTX for API structure.
Choose FastAPI for async APIs, automatic OpenAPI docs, and Pydantic validation. Choose Flask for simpler projects, more control, or when integrating with Flask extensions. FastAPI is faster but Flask has a larger ecosystem.
Use Flask-Migrate (Alembic) for database migrations. Server Compass runs migrations automatically during deployment. We also support SQLAlchemy models with proper connection pooling for production.
Gunicorn is recommended for production Flask deployments. Server Compass configures optimal worker counts based on CPU cores and sets up Nginx as reverse proxy. For async, consider using Uvicorn with Flask[async].
