Before I jump into the the full details and guidelines of how I built this Admin Dashboard, let’s know what Python Flask is and why I decided to build this Admin Dashboard with Flask.

Flask is a lightweight Python web framework that allows users to build web application faster and easier and also give its users as much flexibility as possible in building and scaling their web applications.

Flask is a micro-framework, hence, it allows its users to use their preferred extensions and packages in building their web applications. Unlike other frameworks, Flask doesn’t force its user to follow a particular layout hence its flexibility.

It’s also important to note that Flask has a large community that provide answers to different questions and issues you might face as a Flask developer, they also build and provide so many open source packages for smooth sailing while building a flask web application. Flask has an in-built web server that allows the Python application to process and also makes the Python application accessible to the public.

Now that we have a clear overview of what Flask is, I’ll talk about MongoDB, the database used in storing the user data gotten on registration on this Admin Dashboard.

MongoDB is an open source document-oriented NoSQL database management system used for storing data in flexible, JSON-like documents. Unlike some other SQL databases, MongoDB doesn’t use relational table-based structure.

MongoDB is a very strong and powerful and flexible system that uses dynamic schemas in JSON-like documents called BSON, this makes it very fast and easy for data integration in different types of application. MongoDB is scalable and has high performance and availability for even large and complex infrastructures.
