Summary
This chapter gave us a detailed overview of the Quart framework and how it can be used to build microservices. The main things to remember are:
- Quart wraps a simple request-response mechanism around the ASGI protocol, which lets you write your applications in almost vanilla Python.
- Quart is easy to extend and can use Flask extensions if required.
- Quart comes with some useful built-in features: blueprints, globals, signals, a template engine, and error handlers.
- The microservice project is a Quart skeleton, which will be used to write microservices throughout this book.
The next chapter will focus on development methodology: how to continuously code, test, and document your microservices.
