Django or FastAPI: which backend is right for my project?

Django when you want a complete product fast: admin panel, authentication and ORM included. FastAPI when you are building lean, high-performance APIs, especially around AI and async workloads. Strong teams often run both, and I have shipped production systems where they work side by side.
