What is FastAPI?
Who uses FastAPI?
FastAPI Integrations
Here are some stack decisions, common use cases and reviews by companies and developers who chose FastAPI in their tech stack.
I need to build a virtual trading website for a client. I'm considering Next.js for the frontend but can't decide whether to use FastAPI or Django as the backend.
I'll use PostgreSQL for the database. Also, there will be a Mobile version of the website using Flutter. It needs to be able to connect with the backend.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
I'm starting to implement a new full-stack application and adopting an API-first development approach. Right now deciding which of these tools to use to build, mock and track the evolution of my just-born OpenAPI specification.
I'm already familiar with Postman when it comes to consuming ready-to-use implemented API, but not yet with its API-build features. As well as I barely know how FastAPI could help with this goal.
I would like to understand if there'd be a big difference of usage and capabilities between these tools. And any other one that could help on development, test and documentation of a REST API.
Thanks a lot for helping on this!
Hello, I am trying to build a hobby API that can handle B2B tasks for the supply chain management process. And can be consumed to fit different platforms, such as, mobile applications(android, Ios), & a web app. I am not experienced in building enterprise-grade software. So, I am seeking advice if FastAPI can be used for such software and any other tools or stacks I can apply. Thank you in advance.
I need to build a full authentication and authorisation service, one of many services in my application. I am deciding between Django and FastAPI to implement this service. The full scope of the service will be authentication, roles and permissions.
My major concerns are developer experience and time savings. Please advise with reasons to choose one over the other.
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!
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!
