Batteries included admin console with easily configurable model views.
Built in migrations. Can’t possibly overstate how much this has helped ease deployment. Most of the live debug and prod edits I had to do on the older app were due to db migrations not being shipped with the app.
A baked in ORM with lots of backend optimizations like pagination that keep your queries fast, plus convenience functions for model creation and retrieval (long live get_or_create)
There was a learning curve to all of this, and the complexity of all this in the tutorial scared me away at first, but having seen how the other half lives with Flask, where there are no guardrails for anything, I really appreciate having a framework that solves these kinds of challenges for me.
