In this section, we will further emphasize some other important points that might work in our favor when using the FARM stack. While technically there is no barrier, you should be able to use the FARM stack for virtually any type of web application that you can think of – as any tool, the stack might be more suitable for some types of apps and less for others.

An entire chapter in this book is dedicated to implementing a possible JWT-based authentication solution with FastAPI and its consequent application in React.

Before committing to a third-party solution, be sure to fully understand the pros and cons and the consequences of a potential lock-in, especially if you are planning to scale the application!
