What’s that one about?
Originally I wasn't for it, but then "one big server"

Picking a Python Web Framework
I think my favourite chapter was 13, titled “Picking a Python Web Framework”. I liked the nuance of it. We often don’t get to see people’s reasoning behind things. I think there is real value in this chapter even if you’re not planning on using the tech outline elsewhere. Understanding trade-offs is important.
