Build APIs That Are Fast, Modern, and Ready for Production.
Tired of slow servers and outdated frameworks? It's time to upgrade your Python web development with FastAPI-the high-performance, asynchronous framework designed for modern APIs.
FastAPI for High-Performance APIs is your hands-on guide to building blazing-fast, scalable web services with Python 3.7+ and async capabilities-without the complexity.
This book walks you through the core features of FastAPI, including async request handling, automatic documentation, type validation with Pydantic, and seamless integration with tools like SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, OAuth2, Docker, and more. Whether you're building microservices, REST APIs, or backend systems for mobile apps, this book will teach you how to develop clean, production-ready code with confidence.
