10x Speedup: Switching from pip to uv in Dockerized Flask/Django Apps

This post details a significant performance improvement (up to 10x) achieved by switching from pip to uv for dependency management in Dockerized Flask and Django applications. The author explains how to replace requirements.txt with pyproject.toml, modify the Dockerfile to utilize uv, and leverages uv commands for efficient dependency handling. The process avoids virtual environments and runs as a non-root user, contributing to faster build times and improved efficiency. A video tutorial and example project are also provided.
