  • quart

    An async Python micro framework for building web applications.

    • If you want async flask, you should use quart for now. The roadmap is to fully incorporate quart into flask at some point, but it’s unclear when that’s going to happen.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
