What Happens Inside Flask? From Setup to Serving the First Request.

Description

We all know how a web server works at a higher level (forever keeps waiting for a request, parses the request, calls the corresponding handler, returns a response).

Flask is a beloved and popular web server. To top it, the code base is pretty small and accesssible.

Let's decipher (layer by layer) what exactly happens right from the initialisation stages to serving it's very first request
