FastAPI, Beanie and Cookiecutter

It’s Time for a New Era in Web Development

In recent years, there has been a surge in the popularity of asynchronous web frameworks and ORMs in the Python community. FastAPI, Beanie and Cookiecutter represent the next generation of tools that are poised to revolutionize the way we build web applications.

FastAPI

FastAPI is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.7+ based on standard Python type hints. It is based on standard Python type hints and has built-in data validation, serialization, and documentation generation. FastAPI is known for its speed and ease of use, making it a popular choice for developers who want to create high-performance APIs quickly and efficiently.

Beanie

Beanie is an asynchronous ODM (Object-Document Mapper) for MongoDB with a focus on performance, clean API, and ease of use. It provides a simple and intuitive way to interact with MongoDB databases in asynchronous Python applications. With Beanie, developers can easily define data models and interact with MongoDB collections without having to write tedious and complex database queries.

Cookiecutter

Cookiecutter is a command-line utility that creates projects from cookiecutters (project templates). It is designed to help developers quickly set up new projects with a consistent directory structure, file templates, and other settings. Cookiecutter is widely used in the Python community for creating new web applications, libraries, and tools with a standardized project layout and best practices.

The Future of Web Development

With the rise of asynchronous programming in Python, tools like FastAPI, Beanie, and Cookiecutter are enabling developers to build high-performance web applications with ease. These modern tools are streamlining the development process, improving code quality, and optimizing performance. As we move into this new era of web development, it’s time to embrace these tools and take advantage of the opportunities they provide.
