Flask

Flask is a lightweight WSGI web application framework. It is designed to make getting started quick and easy, with the ability to scale up to complex applications. It began as a simple wrapper around Werkzeug and Jinja

Setup

All Flask applications must create an application instance

ORM

While Flask does not come with a built-in ORM, it can be easily integrated with SQLAlchemy ORM and use alembic for migrations
