# Django vs FastAPI

Both are excellent. **Django** wins when I need the admin, ORM migrations, and a large team comfortable with MVT. **FastAPI** wins for small, high-throughput JSON services and automatic OpenAPI docs.

For *matnazar.dev* I use FastAPI on the API layer and Next.js for the UI — clear separation and great DX.

## Takeaway

Match the framework to team skills, deployment constraints, and latency requirements — not hype.
