Django là web framework Python kiểu "batteries-included" — ORM, admin, auth, form, template, migration đều có sẵn. Cài xong là gần như đủ đồ để dựng một app production, không phải đi gom 5–7 thư viện rời rồi tự ráp lại.
Hợp với: app server-rendered nhiều trang quản trị, dự án nhiều bảng cần migrations + admin panel cho team non-dev nhập liệu, hoặc prototype nhanh cho startup. Còn nếu chỉ làm REST API thuần kiểu microservice hay cần async-first hiệu năng cao thì FastAPI thường gọn hơn.
Django is a "batteries-included" Python web framework — ORM, admin, auth, forms, templates, migrations all bundled. The philosophy is to let a CRUD/admin-heavy team ship a production-ready product without stitching 5–7 libraries together.
Choose Django when you need: server-rendered apps with many admin pages, projects with lots of tables that benefit from migrations + admin panel for non-dev data entry, an API plus internal UI, or a fast startup prototype. If you only need a pure REST microservice or an async-first high-throughput API, FastAPI is usually a better fit.
The trade-off for speed is many conventions — settings, app layout, admin. Do not rush to rewrite admin or auth just because they "feel heavy"; most teams win by leaning on those pieces.
