Alexander Hendorf – FastAPI facts we wish we’d known beforehand

As PyData London 2023 approaches, many attendees are excited to hear from Alexander Hendorf about FastAPI. FastAPI has gained popularity in the Python community for its speed, ease of use, and scalability.

Here are some FastAPI facts that we wish we had known beforehand:

• FastAPI is built on top of Starlette for the web parts and Pydantic for the data parts
• It is one of the fastest web frameworks for Python, outperforming popular frameworks like Flask and Django
• FastAPI supports automatic generation of OpenAPI documentation with Swagger UI and ReDoc
• It has built-in support for dependency injection, making it easy to manage dependencies in your applications
• FastAPI has support for WebSocket connections, allowing for real-time communication between clients and servers

Overall, FastAPI has proven to be a powerful and efficient tool for building web applications in Python. We are excited to hear more from Alexander Hendorf at PyData London 2023 and learn more about how we can make the most of FastAPI in our own projects.
