Introduction to FastAPI and Celery

FastAPI is a modern, fast (high-performance) web framework for building APIs with Python 3.6+ based on standard Python type hints.

Celery is an asynchronous task queue/job queue based on distributed message passing. It is focused on real-time operation, but supports scheduling as well.

What is FastAPI?

FastAPI is easy to use, super-fast, web framework for building APIs with Python 3.6+ based on standard Python type hints.

• Supports automatic validation, serialization, documentation and more
• Based type hints to declare request and response types
• Automatic interactive API documentation for fast development
• Fast and high performance (as fast as Node.js and Go – about 2-3 times faster than Flask and Django)

What is Celery?

Celery is an asynchronous task queue/job queue that is based on distributed message passing, focused on real-time operation, but also supports scheduling tasks.

• Supports real-time processing of task queues
• Supports scheduling of tasks
• High availability and scalability with distributed message passing
• Supports various message brokers like RabbitMQ, Redis, and more

Benefits of using FastAPI and Celery together

When used together, FastAPI and Celery offer a powerful combination for building high-performance APIs that can handle asynchronous tasks efficiently.

• FastAPI provides a modern, fast web framework for building APIs
• Celery allows for the asynchronous processing of tasks, enhancing the performance of the API
• Combining both frameworks enables developers to build scalable, real-time applications with ease

With FastAPI and Celery, developers can create robust and efficient APIs that can handle a large number of requests and perform complex tasks asynchronously.
