Before that, you should know the main difference between Flask and Django. Both are famous in Python arena. But they have different necessity and outlook.

Flask is a microframework. The “micro” in microframework means Flask aims to keep the core simple but extensible. Flask won’t make many decisions for you, such as what database to use.
Django comes with batteries-included. Django takes care of much of the hassle of Web development, so you can focus on writing your app without needing to reinvent the wheel.

Project like Instagram needs a lot of features, surely. You can go with Flask but there you have to extend it with many extensions and third-party modules. But Django gives you everything in one package. Django includes dozens of extras you can use to handle common Web development tasks. Django takes care of user authentication, content administration, site maps, RSS feeds, and many more tasks — right out of the box. Besides, Django has more third-party packages than Flask. That’s the power I think.

SQLite is an in-process library that implements a self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration, transactional SQL database engine.

These features make SQLite a popular choice as an Application File Format. When you’re gonna use SQLite as database for your Flask app, then you have to consider some things:

What is Flask? #

Flask is a microframework for Python based on Werkzeug, Jinja 2 and good intentions. And before you ask: It’s BSD licensed!

“Micro” does not mean that your whole web application has to fit into a single Python file (although it certainly can), nor does it mean that Flask is lacking in functionality. The “micro” in microframework means Flask aims to keep the core simple but extensible. Flask won’t make many decisions for you, such as what database to use. Those decisions that it does make, such as what templating engine to use, are easy to change. Everything else is up to you, so that Flask can be everything you need and nothing you don’t.
