Our architecture patterns for building full-stack applications that handle growth — from startup MVP to production platform.
Why Flask + React?
Flask gives you control without the bloat. React provides a component-based UI that scales. Together, they form a stack that's both productive for MVPs and robust enough for production.
Our Architecture Pattern
We typically structure projects with clear separation:
- Backend: Flask with SQLAlchemy, Marshmallow for serialization
- Frontend: React with TypeScript, React Query for data fetching
- API: RESTful endpoints with proper pagination and filtering
- Auth: JWT with refresh tokens, role-based access control
- Deploy: Docker containers, Nginx reverse proxy, GitHub Actions CI/CD
Database Patterns
SQLAlchemy is incredibly powerful. We use Alembic for migrations, implement soft deletes for audit trails, and use hybrid properties for computed fields.
Performance Tips
- Use Redis for session storage and caching
- Implement database query optimization with eager loading
- Use Celery for background tasks (email, reports, data processing)
- Enable gzip compression at Nginx level
