# Tasteful Framework
> A modern Python framework for building modular, scalable applications with composable flavors
# Welcome to Tasteful
Tasteful is a modern Python framework that combines the **modularity of microservices** with the **simplicity of monoliths**. Build applications using composable "flavors" that can be deployed together or separately, giving you ultimate flexibility.
## Why Tasteful?
Discover the benefits of modular architecture and composable flavors
Start building awesome documentation in under 5 minutes
## Quick Start
Get started with Tasteful in minutes:
```python theme={null}
from tasteful import TastefulApp
from tasteful.base_flavor import BaseFlavor, BaseController
from tasteful.decorators.controller import Get
class HelloController(BaseController):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__(prefix="/hello", tags=["greeting"])
@Get("/")
async def say_hello(self) -> dict:
return {"message": "Hello from Tasteful!"}
class HelloFlavor(BaseFlavor):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__(
controller=HelloController,
services=[],
repositories=[],
config=None
)
app = TastefulApp(
title="My First Tasteful App",
version="1.0.0",
flavors=[HelloFlavor],
authentication_backends=[]
)
```
