FastAPI Reviews

1. Kurslog team

   · Working at Kurslog · 5 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

• Reactive HTML Notebooks

  2- For writing: you can use https://github.com/lervag/vimtex for LaTeX On top of these, you can use tmux with tmuxp to open projects instantly. You can replicate such environment with Emacs using org mode and/or auctex. No use for an added layer (web tech) for this, introducing more code to write and learn. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• My uses for vimwiki have dried up... and it makes me a little sad

  I use vimwiki almost daily, but it's not professional use, just daily notes and organizing my life. I started using zim but I found I really missed writing/editing with vim. Then I found vimwiki. There are things I'm not super happy about with it. I saw that /u/lervag (love his vimtex plugin) released a wiki plugin and I was/am interested in it, but I have so much in my wiki right now that I don't want to deal... Source: about 3 years ago

• Note Taking Applications, Beyond the Doc

  Definitely get vimtex and set it up so you can view the compiled document in one window, and your notes in the other. Get used to vim a bit with some vim tutorial (there are a bunch out there), and have latex shortcuts you use in all your documents. Source: about 3 years ago

• I like Tabasco.

  I do think VSCode is a great tool and I recommend it frequently to people, but I still want to set the record straight here. Yes, vim is obviously limited in the sense that as a CLI app it doesn't draw it's own PDF or HTML windows, that's fair. But it can remote control your favorite PDF viewer or browser for roughly the same functionality. I'm currently writing my thesis using vimtex and it's quite smooth. And... Source: over 3 years ago

• Is there a way to render advanced latex on Obsidian?

  Obsidian is limited by its use of markdown files. You can use Overleaf, Vimtex, or LaTeX workshop on VS Code to render your tex documents. Source: over 3 years 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 / 3 months 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 / 4 months ago
