What came first: the CNAME or the A record?

A recent change to 1.1.1.1 accidentally altered the order of CNAME records in DNS responses, breaking resolution for some clients. This post explores the technical root cause, examines the source code of affected resolvers, and dives into the inherent ambiguities of the DNS RFCs... read more

SSH has no Host header

A dev built a custom SSH proxy that punches through IPv4 limits without handing out public IPs like candy. Their trick:shared IPv4s with per-user relative IP mapping. It maps incoming SSH traffic to the right VM using thesource IPandpublic key combo. No Host header? No problem. They sidestep that ho.. read more

Flask is an open-source web framework written in Python and created by Armin Ronacher in 2010. It is known as a microframework, not because it is weak or incomplete, but because it provides only the essential building blocks for developing web applications. Its core focuses on handling HTTP requests, defining routes, and rendering templates, while leaving decisions about databases, authentication, form handling, and other components to the developer. This minimalistic design makes Flask lightweight, flexible, and easy to learn, but also powerful enough to support complex systems when extended with the right tools.

At the heart of Flask are two libraries: Werkzeug, which is a WSGI utility library that handles the low-level details of communication between web servers and applications, and Jinja2, a templating engine that allows developers to write dynamic HTML pages with embedded Python logic. By combining these two, Flask provides a clean and pythonic way to create web applications without imposing strict architectural patterns.

One of the defining characteristics of Flask is its explicitness. Unlike larger frameworks such as Django, Flask does not try to hide complexity behind layers of abstraction or dictate how a project should be structured. Instead, it gives developers complete control over how they organize their code and which tools they integrate. This explicit nature makes applications easier to reason about and gives teams the freedom to design solutions that match their exact needs. At the same time, Flask benefits from a vast ecosystem of extensions contributed by the community. These extensions cover areas such as database integration through SQLAlchemy, user session and authentication management, form validation with CSRF protection, and database migration handling. This modular approach means a developer can start with a very simple application and gradually add only the pieces they require, avoiding the overhead of unused components.

Flask is also widely appreciated for its simplicity and approachability. Many developers write their first web application in Flask because the learning curve is gentle, the documentation is clear, and the framework itself avoids unnecessary complexity. It is particularly well suited for building prototypes, REST APIs, microservices, or small to medium-sized web applications. At the same time, production-grade deployments are supported by running Flask applications on WSGI servers such as Gunicorn or uWSGI, since the development server included with Flask is intended only for testing and debugging.

The strengths of Flask lie in its minimalism, flexibility, and extensibility. It gives developers the freedom to assemble their application architecture, choose their own libraries, and maintain tight control over how things work under the hood. This is attractive to experienced engineers who dislike being boxed in by heavy frameworks. However, the same freedom can become a limitation. Flask does not include features like an ORM, admin interface, or built-in authentication system, which means teams working on very large applications must take on more responsibility for enforcing patterns and maintaining consistency. In situations where a project requires an opinionated, all-in-one solution, Django or another full-stack framework may be a better fit.

In practice, Flask has grown far beyond its initial positioning as a lightweight tool. It has been used by startups for rapid prototypes and by large companies for production systems. Its design philosophy—keep the core simple, make extensions easy, and let developers decide—continues to attract both beginners and professionals. This balance between simplicity and power has made Flask one of the most enduring and widely used Python web frameworks.
