What is
Flask? 

Flask is intended for getting started very quickly and was developed with best intentions in mind. 

What is
Colossus? 

Colossus is a lightweight framework for building high-performance applications in Scala that require non-blocking network I/O. In particular Colossus is focused on low-latency stateless microservices where often the service is little more than an abstraction over a database and/or cache.  For this use case, Colossus aims to maximize performance while keeping the interface clean and concise. 

What is
Leptus? 

Leptus simplifies creating RESTful APIs in Erlang.

Small, Powerful, Easy to use

Flask is a light, yet powerful Python web framework perfect for quickly building smaller web applications.  It's a "micro-framework" that's easy to learn and simple to use, so it's perfect for those new to web development as well as those looking to rapidly develop a web application.

How developers use Flask vs Colossus vs Leptus

This lightweight web framework enables quick REST API development while enabling easy clustering, and the usage of multiple worker processes required to scale the REST API service to meet high volume requirements. 

I use Flask for times when I need to create a REST API that interfaces with other Python code, or there is no specific reason why I'd want to use Node. JS.  I prefer Flask because of its small learning curve, allowing me to get started coding as quickly as possible
