I'm trying to get a better understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of FastAPI, Flask, and Node.js. Both FastAPI and Flask are Python-based, but I'm particularly curious about how they stack up against each other in terms of production use. Has anyone here worked with either FastAPI or Flask in a live environment?

Both FastAPI and Flask are widely used in production environments. From my experience maintaining several projects using both frameworks, I can assure you that they are reliable. Usually, the choice of framework or language doesn't impose limits on your project; it's really about your familiarity with them. If you're comparing frameworks, it's worth noting that for Node.js, something like Express might be a better fit since you're looking at web frameworks specifically.
That's really helpful. Do you have insights on why developers might choose one over the other?
