Serve files from MongoDB with Flask framework

I am new in web development with python and flask and mongodb database. What I see is that everybody advises to use Apache to serve files because it's more efficient. But what if I store all my files in MongoDB using GridFS? In this case I do not serve my files by Apache anymore but directly by flask, is it the wrong thing to do? Thanks

If you are in a spot where you need to use GridFS to store files, then you will have to use Flask to serve them.

However, if you don't have to use GridFS I would recommend against it, especially as a newbie to web development. There will be a lot more guides to help you along when you get stuck. After you have Flask figured out, you can add on GridFS.
