Just a little rant from me.

How's Flask holding up?

- No new version for 2.5 years.

- almost 1000 commits since then.

- More than half PR's are more than 6 months old.

- I heard documentation is lagging behind for the features implemented (?)

But it's still popular and recommended for beginners (many tutorials and such). I understand it's use for micro services, though what if your micro service or small app expands? AFAIK, plugin ecosystem is healthy, though do all plugins are ready if v1.0 would be released tomorrow? So all in all , personally, Flask looks in rather chaotic state.

I am just genuinely curious.

Development docs are here: http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/dev/

I think it is doing great.

Not a lot of features and versions like other frameworks but that's not exactly an objective measurement of the quality of the framework.

- We have used Flask recently at a very large media corporation to build a social network.

- I have also reviewed a book for Flask earlier and getting a lot of inquiries and requests regarding tutorials and video courses.

- Team Tree House added a full course on Flask (very good one).

Largely the point of microservices is they don't expand, you just create another one. Adding features just results in a huge monolith.
