This is sad. Flask is a very nice microframework that does not have any of these scalability limitations for which your employer asked you to switch to Django.
I have used both Flask and Django for a long time, so I think I could contribute a couple of points in this regard.
- Django with a very good documentation and batteries included helps to build a lot of functionality in less time without having to look anywhere else. In the same time, flask being a microframework, you need to look for the batteries yourself and it takes experience and knowledge to know which components to use and which to avoid.
- None of these two frameworks will magically fix the scaling issues or are free to scaling issues.When you hit issues with scaling, you need to find the bottleneck and fix it. There is no other magic bullet here. I would suggest do not be religious about things and try both of them without any bias in your personal projects and then evaluate. Do not form an opinion without knowing something yourself.
