Choosing a python framework

I've recently switched to a new role and moved away from the tedious CRUD operations and moved onto data transformations and more interesting things in the world of python and I think at some point I lost my passion bc it was all work and no play work. I had no motivation to actually create something - I still don't but I believe I will find it along this learning journey.

You get people who know what they want from the word go and then you get us who figure it out along the way. We just ensure the car has enough fuel, enough money in the bank account to book accomodation in some little town we'll find along the journey and we just drive. Call it unprepped, call it winging it - call it whatever but lets start this journey

So I don't know what kinda app I want to build. The only spec I know is that it's going to be data intensive. I already know about django and fastapi.

Conditions to consider when choosing a framework

For me as someone who is building a personal project in terms of learning and becoming a better dev - I'd say my most important conditions would be

  1. Documentation
  2. Scalability
  3. Performance

I will elaborate on the above points with the comparison between Django and Fast API
