I am writing an API right now in Flask, and I chose it over Django never having used Django for a REST service before.
When you say "there's no story" around auth, endpoint versioning, and other things does that just mean that you're not forced to follow those conventions with Flask / that Django offers utilities to help? I am a bit confused/curious what you meant by that since I've seen some wonderful Flask auth work, and endpoint versioning is pretty standard on most APIs, but seems like Django is a bit more strict with what they want you to do.
