Who uses FastAPI?
Here are some stack decisions, common use cases and reviews by companies and developers who chose FastAPI in their tech stack.
Not sure if we should use DRF or FastAPI. I hear many good things about FastAPI, but it doesn't seem to have a big community. Most important things for us: - speed - ease of development - scalability & security
We're likely going to use MongoDB, so not sure if that changes anything. Would appreciate any help!
I'm a Data Engineer, looking to build some web apps in my spare time, especially on weekends. I'm debating between choosing Django over FastAPI. What I am pondering are performance, development speed, ease of management, scalability, and support if I ever need to use another frontend framework (eg React). Please help me with advice, I would appreciate it!
