Pros
Pro Built to build REST APIs
Falcon is designed entirely around building REST APIs. It achieves this helps a lot with it being lightweight and simple. It also helps developers take some design choices which would otherwise not be possible with a more general-purpose framework,
Pro Lightweight with minimal dependencies
Falcon is a very lightweight framework. This can be noticed simply by looking at the dependency list: other than the python standard library, six and mimeparse are the only dependencies.
Pro Performance is really awesome
Pro Open source and actively developed
Pro PL/pgSQL Debugger
Pro Web-based, can be run locally or deployed on server
OmniDB is web-based and works similarly to pgAdmin 4. You can run the web server locally or deploy it on a server, and connect to it through a web browser.
Pro Multi-database
Supports PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL and MariaDB, with support in the pipeline for Firebird, SQLite, SQL Server and DB2.
Pro Simple and intuitive interface for everyone.
An easy-to-discover tree panel to classify features/objects on left (with context menus if you don't know what you're doing). Tabs panels for ins and outs on right. That's it.
Pro OmniDB has 2ndQuadrant as its main sponsor
Cons
Con Limited in scope
Being designed around building REST APIs and the fact that it's minimalistic with very few dependencies makes Falcon opinionated (you should build a REST API) and limited in scope (you shouldn't be using Falcon to build a news site, blog or ecommerce platform).
