Do you have any perspective on how Flask fits into this?

Flask is decent. Can’t we use that?

Might I suggest taking a look at FastAPI?It’s been a 10x+ improvement on Flask, in my experience.

I am a die hard flask fan. I would highly recommend you look @ Pyramid. Much better for APIs than Flask, especially if it's core to your business.

Flask is much quicker for small apps like this.
