In this chapter, the fundamental differences between NoSQL and traditional SQL systems were laid out. We explored the main types of NoSQL systems and why an application might need, or not need, to be designed with a NoSQL database. Using our app's models as a base, the power of MongoDB and MongoEngine was shown by how simple it was to set up complex relationships and inheritance. In the next chapter, our blogging application will be extended with a feature designed for other programmers who wish to use our site to build their own service, that is, RESTful endpoints.

Overview of this book
Starting from a simple Flask app, this book will walk through advanced topics while providing practical examples of the lessons learned. After building a simple Flask app, a proper app structure is demonstrated by transforming the app to use a Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture. With a scalable structure in hand, the next chapters use Flask extensions to provide extra functionality to the app, including user login and registration, NoSQL querying, a REST API, an admin interface, and more. Next, you’ll discover how to use unit testing to take the guesswork away from making sure the code is performing as it should. The book closes with a discussion of the different platforms that are available to deploy a Flask app on, the pros and cons of each one, and how to deploy on each one.
