Considering Options for Django API Project

Hi friend, why 25 MB. if you have some files or models. exclude them. then push to github. but anyway, you need a hosting service.

I didn't test Hostinger before. but there are many affordable services where you can get started, like Digital Ocean, Contabo, Kinsta...

@sidh Django is an all in one package with little need for add on modules. Flask on the other hand provides a minimal framework and provides add on modules to provide you functional needs. Below is what ChatGPT 4 gives me for converting from Django to Flask:

Converting a Django project to Flask involves several steps since they are two different frameworks with different structures and designs. Here are some general steps you can follow:

1. **Setup Flask Application**: Create a new Flask application. You can do this by installing Flask using pip:

```
pip install flask
```

Then, create a new file (for example, `app.py`) and set up a basic Flask application:

```python
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
return 'Hello, World!'

if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run()
```

2. **Migrate Models**: Django uses an ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) for database operations, while Flask uses SQLAlchemy. You will need to convert Django models to SQLAlchemy models.

3. **Migrate Views**: In Django, views are functions that take a web request and return a web response. In Flask, views are functions that are mapped to one or more route URLs.

4. **Migrate Templates**: Django uses its own template engine, while Flask uses Jinja2. You will need to convert Django templates to Jinja2 templates.

5. **Migrate Forms**: If your Django application uses Django forms, you'll need to replace them with WTForms (or another Flask-compatible form library).

6. **Migrate URL Routing**: Django uses a central `urls.py` file for URL routing, while Flask handles URL routing in the view by using decorators.

7. **Migrate Middleware**: If you're using Django middleware, you'll need to find a Flask equivalent or rewrite the middleware as a Flask extension.

8. **Migrate Static Files**: Flask and Django handle static files differently. You'll need to move your static files to the appropriate place in your Flask project and update your templates accordingly.

9. **Migrate Tests**: If you have tests written for your Django app, you'll need to rewrite them for your Flask app using a library like `unittest` or `pytest`.

Remember that Django and Flask have different philosophies and are designed for different kinds of projects. Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design, while Flask is a micro web framework for Python based on Werkzeug, Jinja 2 and good intentions. It might not always be feasible or advisable to port an application from one to the other without considering the implications and the benefits.

@ssadvisor Thankyou😊

@admin The model has 168MB which is responsible for the image background removal. i cannot exclude the model from uploading it to the git

Hey!

@alexda21 did you want something or are you just spamming this post?
