The importance of a full Python web framework

Building and publishing web applications on the cloud today relies on several key frameworks, languages, and techniques. Some of the most important are as follows:

• Web frameworks: Frameworks such as React, Angular, and Node.js make developing web apps easier and more efficient. They handle key tasks such as routing, state management, building components, and handling events. Developers can focus on writing code for their specific applications instead of building infrastructure.
• Server-side languages: Languages such as PHP, Ruby on Rails, Python, Java, and C# are used on the server side to handle requests, access databases, build APIs, and generate dynamic web content. Node.js, which uses JavaScript, has also become very popular for server-side development.
• JavaScript: JavaScript is the primary language of the frontend web. It is used to build client-side interfaces, animate and create interactive content, handle user input, request data via HTTP requests, and more. Modern JavaScript frameworks have also enabled the rise of single-page applications.
• Version control: Tools such as Git help developers collaborate and keep a project’s code and file history synchronized. They enable useful features such as branching, merging, committing, pushing to remote repositories, and rolling back changes.
• Deployment: There are several options for deploying web applications, including server management services such as AWS EC2, managed services such as Firebase, virtual private servers (VPS), and bare-metal servers. Continuous integration and deployment help get new features and code live as quickly and seamlessly as possible.
• Containerization: Docker containers package web applications and all their dependencies into isolated, portable, lightweight environments. They help keep development, staging, and production environments consistent and optimized. Containers simplify deploying and scaling web apps.
• Application programming interfaces (APIs): These allow web applications to integrate with external services and pass data back and forth seamlessly. APIs power features such as user authentication, payment handling, location services, social networking, and much more without requiring multiple web apps to share code bases.

As we can see, there are many tools and techniques we can use to build, deploy, scale, and integrate web applications professionally and efficiently today. When combined effectively, they enable fast, robust development cycles, optimized performance, and seamless connectivity between services. Moreover, as technologies continue to evolve, these best practices and stacks will adapt to meet new demands.

This great variety of frameworks, languages, and techniques is a strong weapon in our hands that can make it possible to develop more or less any idea we could have. However, this requires continuous learning and huge know-how of too many different topics.

For this reason, it would be great if a unique framework fully available in Python, a simplistic programming language, could help us develop our web applications quickly, making their deployment simple and smooth. The answer to this problem is Streamlit.

So, in a few words, Streamlit is something that makes it much easier for us to develop, implement, and deploy our ideas and turn them into wonderful web apps. But should the product be made available on our local machines or in the cloud?
