FastAPI Reviews

1. Kurslog team

   · Working at Kurslog · 3 months ago

   When our backend team needs to build services for data parsing, aggregators, or high-load APIs, FastAPI is our absolute go-to choice. It completely lives up to its name-development speed is outstanding.

   The combination of Pydantic for data validation and built-in async support keeps our shared codebase clean, strictly typed, and reliable. But the biggest highlight for our cross-functional team is the automatic generation of interactive OpenAPI (Swagger) documentation. Our frontend and mobile developers no longer have to wait for backend engineers to manually update API docs; everything stays perfectly in sync automatically. It has drastically improved our team's communication and delivery speed.

   🏁 Competitors: Django, Flask, ExpressJS, Nest.js, Spring Boot

   👍 Pros:    Blazing fast performance (on par with nodejs and go)|Native asynchronous support out of the box|Automatic, interactive documentation generation (swagger/redoc)|Strict typing and data validation with pydantic

   👎 Cons:    Smaller plug-and-play ecosystem compared to older frameworks like django|Requires our architects to design the project structure and directory layout from scratch

• Is possible a language easy as py, fast as C, more secure than Rust?

  How about v-lang? https://vlang.io/ Not python, but, go-like syntax, and satisfies other stuff you mentioned. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Solod – A Subset of Go That Translates to C

  Somewhat similar language, https://vlang.io It’s a mix of go and rust syntax that translates to C. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Odin: Moving Towards a New "core:OS"

  Language explorers looking for lower level languages like this may also want to take a peek at the V language. https://vlang.io/ I won't say with confidence either is better than the other; but I think both are worth a look. Odin (iiuc) always makes you manage memory; Vlang permits you to, but does also have linking to the Boehm GC that it will generate for you in most cases. Vlang and Odin in terms of syntax and... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Go is still not good

  There are other choices of languages, that are close to and influenced by Golang. Languages such as Odin[1] and Vlang[2] (which addresses several issues mentioned). Even more, they are at the stage where advance programmers can contribute or influence them in the ways that they might find satisfactory. Golang is too far down the road and cemented in its ways, to expect such significant changes in direction. [1]:... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Koto Programming Language

  > For me the biggest gap in programming languages is a rust like language with a garbage collector, instead of a borrow checker. https://vlang.io. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Shipping Sovereign SDK: Cryptographic Forensic Receipts and the End of the AI "Prose Tax"

  The Sovereign SDK is a Python-native framework designed to minimize prose overhead while generating ironclad, cryptographic execution receipts for AI agents, complete with drop-in FastAPI/Starlette ASGI middleware. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• 5-Minute AI Jobs and Closed Tabs — Why We Built Replay-Then-Tail SSE

  We had a feature in production where a single user request could run for five-plus minutes — fetch documents, chunk them, hit an LLM per chunk, synthesize a final answer. We did the obvious thing first: a FastAPI handler that ran the pipeline and streamed progress back to the browser over Server-Sent Events. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• FastAPI With LangChain and MongoDB

  FastAPI is a Python framework for building APIs quickly, efficiently, and with very little code. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• I Built A " CrowdSense AI " : A Scalable, Context-Aware Platform for Smart Stadiums

  Backend: Python-based FastAPI for its asynchronous I/O capabilities and rapid JSON serialization. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Async PyMongo in FastAPI

  FastAPI is a high-performance web framework that is production-ready and designed for building APIs in python, with roots embedded in asynchronous programming. It embraces Python’s asyncio model as its core principle rather than treating it as optional. This design choice gives FastAPI leverage for I/O bound workloads such as db access, external API calls and real-time data streaming. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
