Which framework do you find more suitable — Django or FastAPI, and what guides your choice?

The choice between Django and FastAPI depends on the project requirements and priorities:

• Django is suitable if you need a full stack with ready-made solutions: ORM, admin panel, authentication, templates. It is an excellent choice for large projects with a traditional architecture.

• FastAPI is focused on high performance and asynchronous capabilities, making it ideal for microservices and API-first applications. It is lighter and faster for API development, supporting automatic documentation generation.

When choosing, I consider:

• Performance and scalability requirements.
• Availability of ready components (e.g., whether an admin panel is needed).
• The team's experience with synchronous or asynchronous code.
• The complexity and size of the project.

Example: For a high-load REST API with asynchronous processing, FastAPI is better; for a traditional web application with forms and an admin panel, Django.
