Head over to the new chapter in the Zato documentation to find out how to integrate Django and Flask applications with Zato services.
The service it uses is a hypothetical yet fully functional one which looks up and caches user data by their IDs.
The integration effort is presented from the point of view of both libraries using self-contained ready-to-use projects living on GitHub.
Simply put - it contains everything you need to integrate Django or Flask with Zato :-)

if not name:
name = self.get_customer(cust_id)
self.kvdb.conn.hset(CACHE_KEY, cust_id, name)
# Produce the response for the calling application.
self.response.payload = {'name': name}
