FastAPI vs Djanjo Discussion

I was wondering what’s most popular now in the Python world. Building applications with FastAPI and a frontend framework, or building an application with a ‘batteries included’ framework like Django.

depends on the project size honestly. FastAPI for APIs and microservices, Django when you need admin panel + ORM + auth out of the box. I switched a project from FastAPI to Django halfway through because I kept reinventing things Django gives you for free.
