Server-Sent Events (SSE) Are Underrated

Is Flask Dead? Is FastAPI the Future?
ASGI Web Framework: Web frameworks that implement the ASGI specification (such as FastAPI), while Flask and Django are web frameworks that implement WSGI. These frameworks are designed for developers to write applications, with easy-to-use interfaces. Developers only need to fill in the business logic according to their needs. Early frameworks mostly implemented ASGI toolkits internally, while later frameworks usually combine suitable toolkits. For example, Flask uses Werkzeug (its own), and FastAPI uses Starlette (from others).

Analyzing the OpenAPI Tooling Ecosystem
Or you can go straight to Starlette [0], which is much more streamlined to develop with. FastAPI is based on it itself, and while it provides many additional bells and whistles I find it messes things up significantly.
