FAQ

Questions about hiring Django developers

Django or Flask?

Django includes more and suits larger apps. Flask is lighter and suits small services.

Is Django fast enough?

For most web apps, yes. Speed depends far more on queries and caching than on the framework.

Can Django use our machine learning models?

Yes. Being Python, it can call ML libraries directly or through background tasks.
