What is the best back end framework in 2022?


Hey HN,

I want to build and ship a side project really quick. I'm wondering what is the best framework to build a backend fast in 2022?

Second I also want to know what is the best framework to build a backend in Python?

Depends what the purpose is. Any number of frameworks will work; sounds like you already limited it to Python, so Django or Flask seems logical.

In order of shipping speed:

- The one you already know

- The one closest to the one you already know

- The new hotness everyone is talking about

What exactly are you doing with your back end? If it's database operations, you can try Parse Server. We use it frequently for hackathons.

I wrote a tutorial on it: https://smuzani.medium.com/setting-up-a-mobile-backend-serve...

If you want to do stuff like run code on the back end, then you might want another.

For me the quickest and most robust way to build anything web related, as a single dev or as a small team is Laravel + Unpoly + tailwind. That's a real full stack: from authentication, translations, background jobs, componetized views, ajax updates and form submissions, etc, etc.

NextJS

Hasura plus fastapi perhaps?

If your asking this question the answer is Django. There’s nothing else left that’s really being actively developed in the open source space and nobody wants to admit it.
