Can Flask handle production traffic without a rewrite?
Yes. Flask is a WSGI framework, so throughput is governed by how you run it rather than by the framework itself. Miracuves deploys behind Gunicorn with worker counts sized against measured concurrency, a pooled SQLAlchemy session per request, Celery for anything slow, and Redis caching on hot reads. The same application scales horizontally behind a load balancer without a rewrite. Where a workload genuinely needs native async throughput, we will say so and recommend FastAPI instead of pretending one framework suits every app.
How much does Flask development cost at Miracuves?
Ready-made platform pricing stays fixed when your scope matches the catalogue product: a ready-made platform starts from $2,199 and ships in 6 days. Custom Flask backend work starts from $3,699, depending on the work. A custom Flask MVP typically runs $8,000-$25,000 and takes 2-8 weeks depending on scope - the number of endpoints and user roles, the data model and any database migration, real-time features, Celery jobs, integrations, and whether we extend an existing Flask codebase or start clean. Ongoing Flask development is available from $2,299/month for feature work and maintenance. Every quote is written before payment, with no surprise invoices after kickoff.
Does Miracuves deliver the full source code?
Yes - completely. Miracuves hands over the full Flask codebase, the repository with its complete commit history, the Alembic migration history, environment configuration, API documentation, and all deployment credentials. Zero lock-in: the app runs on standard, open-source Python libraries, so your team or any other Python developer can continue the work immediately after handoff.
How fast can a Flask app realistically be delivered?
A ready-made platform - web app, admin panel and mobile apps under your brand, with white-label configuration - ships in 6 working days. A custom Flask service or API takes 2-8 weeks depending on scope: the number of endpoints, the data model and the integrations. All timelines are stated in writing before any payment is requested.
Flask or Django - which does Miracuves recommend?
Flask when you want to choose the pieces yourself and keep the surface small, Django when you want authentication, permissions, an admin and migrations handed to you on day one. A focused service with a handful of endpoints and a custom data model is faster to build and cheaper to maintain in Flask. A content-heavy product with editors, roles and reporting is usually faster in Django, because you are not rebuilding an admin that already exists. Miracuves states which one we are recommending, and the reasoning, in writing before any payment is requested.
What is included in the admin panel with every delivery?
On a ready-made platform: a web-based admin panel with user management, order and booking management, analytics dashboard, content control, payout and commission management, and platform configuration settings - delivered as a separate web application that works in any browser. On a custom Flask build, admin screens are built to your own data model and roles.
Does Miracuves handle App Store and Google Play submission?
Yes, for the ready-made platform, whose mobile apps ship to both stores: Miracuves manages provisioning profiles, signing certificates, store listing creation, screenshot assets, compliance checks, and review coordination. Review times are set by Apple and Google and vary from about a day to several days. A custom Flask backend has no store review - we deploy it to your cloud behind Gunicorn and Nginx, and any mobile app that calls it goes through the stores as above.
What happens after the app is delivered if there are bugs?
Every Miracuves delivery includes 60 days of post-launch technical support. Bugs within the delivered scope - a failing endpoint, a migration that breaks on real data, a Celery task that stalls - are fixed at no additional cost. Feature additions beyond scope are quoted separately. Monthly maintenance retainers are available at published rates.
How does Miracuves handle NDA and confidentiality?
Miracuves signs a bilateral NDA before any project details are shared. The NDA covers all technical details, business logic, and IP. An IP assignment agreement confirming 100% ownership transfers to the client is signed at project start - not at the end.
Do you provide white-label Flask development services for agencies?
Yes. Miracuves builds Flask backends under your brand for agencies and software firms that resell development. An NDA is signed before any project details are shared, the IP assignment is signed at project start, and the full source code, Alembic migration history and documentation are handed to you or your client at the end. You deal with one accountable team, and your client deals with you.
Can you take over or upgrade our existing Flask app?
Yes. We start with a written audit: the Python and Flask versions, which extensions are no longer maintained, how the code is structured, what is tested and how it is deployed. Then we add tests around current behavior and upgrade in steps - Python first, then Flask and its extensions, then SQLAlchemy query style - so the app keeps running throughout. Ongoing work on a Flask app you already run is available on the monthly retainer from $2,299/month.
Do you use Flask only for APIs, or for full web apps too?
Both. Most Flask work we do is JSON APIs for web and mobile front ends, but Flask renders server-side pages with Jinja2 just as well - useful for internal tools, dashboards and admin screens where a separate JavaScript front end would be overkill. Forms get CSRF protection through Flask-WTF, and sessions work with Flask-Login. If the front end needs to be a rich single-page app, we pair the Flask API with a React or Vue client instead.
