A common pattern is a `ModelViewSet` backed by a Django ORM model — DRF handles serialization, pagination, and auth, while engineers focus on the data model and any custom filtering logic needed to serve pipeline outputs to downstream consumers.
Python data engineers use Flask to build lightweight REST APIs that expose pipeline outputs, model predictions, and dataset query endpoints. Flask is commonly used to wrap ML models as HTTP services, build internal data dashboards, and create webhook receivers that trigger pipeline runs. Its simplicity makes it ideal for microservices that sit alongside heavier data infrastructure components.
