FastAPI

The document discusses FastAPI, a modern framework for building APIs that enhances code maintainability by separating server code from business logic and offers faster performance than Flask. It features a runtime data validation system, automatic documentation generation, and a user-friendly GUI, allowing developers to focus on logic while FastAPI manages other aspects. A free course on model deployment using FastAPI is also offered.

Model Deployment using

It is a modern framework that allows you to build APIs


seamlessly without much effort. It has the ability to separate
the server code from the business logic increasing code
maintainability. As the name itself has fast in it, it is much
faster as compared to the flask because it’s built over ASGI
(Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface) instead of WSGI
(Web Server Gateway Interface). It has a data validation
system that can detect any invalid data type at the runtime
and returns the reason for bad inputs to the user in the JSON
format only which frees developers from managing this
exception explicitly.

It generates the documentation on the go when you are


developing the API which is the most requested thing from all
the developers. Documentation is a great way for other
developers to collaborate on a project as it presents them with
everything that can be done with the necessary instructions. It
also generates a nice GUI which solves everything that was
missing in the flask.

It does all these things OpenAI specifications and Swagger for


implementing these specifications. Being a developer, you are
only focusing on the logic building part and the rest of the
things are managed by the FastAPI. Let’s look at the same
example which was created using Flask now implemented in
FastAPI:import uvicorn from fastapi
On hitting the URL localhost/?name=AnyNameHere, you will be
prompted with output such as:
You can see that the code is very similar to flask but here we
are using uvicorn server which is an ASGI implementation.
Also, here we are not routing any endpoints and creating them
directly using decorators which makes more sense. The
function here simply takes the arguments required further
which eliminates the need for the request object to be called.
