Description

FastAPI is an Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface (ASGI)-based framework that can help build modern, manageable, and fast microservices. Because of its asynchronous core platform, this ASGI-based framework provides the best option when it comes to performance, reliability, and scalability over the WSGI-based Django and Flask. When working with Python, Flask, and Django microservices, you’ll be able to put your knowledge to work with this practical guide to building seamlessly manageable and fast microservices. You’ll begin by understanding the background of FastAPI and learning how to install, configure, and use FastAPI to decompose business units. You’ll explore a unique and asynchronous REST API framework that can provide a better option when it comes to building microservices. After that, this book will guide you on how to apply and translate microservices design patterns in building various microservices applications and RESTful APIs using the FastAPI framework. By the end of this microservices book, you’ll be able to understand, build, deploy, test, and experiment with microservices and their components using the FastAPI framework.

Who is this book for?

This book is for Python web developers, advanced Python developers, and backend developers using Flask or Django who want to learn how to use the FastAPI framework to implement microservices. Readers familiar with the REST API and microservices will also benefit from this book. Some parts of the book contain general concepts, processes, and instructions that intermediate-level developers and Python enthusiasts can relate to as well.

What you will learn

Understand, orient, and implement REST APIs using the basic components of the FastAPI framework

Build asynchronous as well as synchronous REST services using the built-in pydantic module and asyncio support

Create small-scale and large-scale microservices applications using features supported by FastAPI

Build event-driven and message-driven applications using the framework

Create an asynchronous and synchronous data layer with both relational and NoSQL databases

Perform numerical and symbolic computations with FastAPI

I got an opportunity to go through the book as I was learning about FastAPI framework and I must say the author has done very well explaining what I thought was a complex domain. Going through the book opens up your understanding of creating an enterprise grade microservice application. You will a very detailed introduction into setting up FastAPI endpoints, get a feel of working with decorators (which prior to this, my knowledge was shacky), to core features how to connect a relational database, securing REST APIs to utilizing and adding advanced features such as OpenTracing, client-side service discovery and likes, among other essential topic areas. You will learn how to manage exceptions for building resilient microservice architecture when business processes become intricate. The book also touches on dependency injection and how it affects our FastAPIs projects.The book acts as a detailed reference guide whether you are learning this or implementing the same in your day job. By the end of it, you should have familiarized yourself with all the core components of FastAPI helping you upgrade the simple applications to quality ones.The book has left a curiosity in me to further learn about microservice architecture. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who would live to delve knees deep into this domain area.

This book is well written and is in an easy-to-understand manner. I am new to FastAPI and I got a good sense of it going through this book. I especially liked the chapters on how to connect FastAPI with SQL and NoSQL databases. A lot of the examples in this book are based on real-life scenarios which helped me think about designing systems efficiently. It also talks about how to leverage microservices to work with Kafka, Neo4j, and GraphQL platforms and also how to deploy and run on docker.Overall, it's a great book with lots of real-world applications. I would recommend it to someone looking for good microservices solutions design.

The book kicks off with a stellar opening chapter that briefly summarizes the key concepts of FastAPI. This explanation is designed to welcome newcomers into the realm of FastAPI, while also providing an engaging refresher for those already familiar with the framework. The second chapter delves deeper into the core features of the framework, paving the way for the rest of the book.Is amazing to see how these interconnected subjects have been transformed by the author into self-contained sections that can be read and understood in isolation, offering the reader the flexibility to navigate the book nonlinearly. Once the first two chapters are assimilated, you have the freedom to choose your subsequent learning path.This book is a powerful resource for anyone aspiring to become a proficient and comprehensive FastAPI Python developer. It equips you for a myriad of topics that extend beyond merely utilizing the library, such as multi-layered dependency injection, microservice design principles, interacting with non-relational databases (which are frequently utilized in contemporary projects), addressing security concerns, and various other topics.In spite of its compelling content, I couldn't ignore the errors present in some of the annotations and the less-than-ideal formatting of the code. Nonetheless, this is a commendable book for programmers who prioritize efficiency, code quality, and adherence to best practices. However, note that novice programmers might find it challenging to progress past the second chapter. Some of the advanced topics might not appeal to beginners in the early stages of their coding journey, who are often more focused on getting tasks accomplished rather than delving into intricate details.

This book has been a big help to me. I've been trying to learn Python myself and this book is a great guide. What I love the most is that it is so structured and organized that after teaching the concepts, it also has practice chapters where I could apply what I learned. It is always hard to keep going without actual practice because you thought you learned but you didn't. For every new concept the author attached code examples and detailed word explanations, which is super helpful. Strongly recommend!
