If your app is stateless; FastAPI. Otherwise Django all the way (with some cloud managed SQL, if you are not into hosting it yourself). Remember backups.

Put in on a VM, deploy with Ansible, and call it a day.

Even for stateful apps, I reach for FastAPI now. It's just so expressive. For the "full stack bits" there are plenty of libraries, it's just a little work to stitch them together.

Is it better than Flask for rendering HTML templates?

I'm not sure if you're being disingenuous or not. I use Jinja in both Flask and FastAPI, so it'd be hard to say one is "better" at that single task.
