server side

Our ML model will be trained locally first. After the local stage, the model will be deployed in the cloud using Flask and Amazon EC2. The data will be stored using MongoDB, and we will use MongoDB Atlas to host it remotely. Below are the reasons why we choose above stacks:

MongoDB and MongoDB Atlas

• Schema-less (Easy to add/remove attributes)
• It is easy to set up and run in Amazon EC2

Flask:

• python library support
• easy and simple to use

Amazon EC2:

• Easy to use/configure
• Secure

Client side

JavaScript will be our main language for front-end. We will use React to build our web interfaces. Material-UI will be used for designing the theme, because it has lots of pre-defined themes. Redis is a great tool for caching due to its in-memory data structure, it can be used to improve user experience. In terms of visualizing data, we use Chart.js. Because it is light weight and easy to learn.

Project management

We use Slack for communication, because it is efficient, light weight and easy to use. GitHub will be used as our primary version control, issue tracking, and roadmapping tool. Because it provides a all-in-one place for code writing and progress tracking.

My journey to developing REST APIs started with Flask Restful, and I've found it to be enough for the needs of my project back then. Now that I've started investing more time on personal projects, I've yet to decide if I should move to use Django for writing REST APIs. I often see job posts looking for Python+Django developers, but it's usually for full-stack developers. I'm primarily interested in Data Engineering, so most of my web projects are back end.

Should I continue with what I know (Flask) or move on to Django?

I have just started learning Python 3 weeks ago. I want to create a REST API using python. The API will be used to save form data in an Oracle database. The front end is using AngularJS 8 with Angular Material. In python, there are so many frameworks to develop REST APIs.

I am looking for some suggestions which REST framework to choose?

Here are some features I am looking for:

• Easy integration and unit testing, like in Angular. We just want to run a command.

• Code packaging, like in java maven project we can build and package. I am looking for something which I can push in as an artifact and deploy whole code as a package.

• Support for swagger/ OpenAPI

• Support for JSON Web Token

• Support for test case coverage report

Framework can have features included or can be available by extension. Also, you can suggest a framework other than the ones I have mentioned.
