FastAPI and Python considerations

Python encompasses data and text processing, web development, data science, machine learning, numerical computations, visualizations, and virtually every possible aspect of computing.

Best practices in Python are applicable to FastAPI as well. However, since FastAPI translates simple Python functions (or even classes, inspired by the class-based views of Django) into REST API endpoints, you don’t have to do anything additional. FastAPI is built in a way that favors the developer, giving you the necessary flexibility and smoothness while writing an API.

The following list provides generic considerations that should be part of your FastAPI development process:

• Use Git and GitHub and learn a simple workflow. It is easier to learn one workflow and use it until you get used to it and then switch, rather than trying to learn all the commands at once, especially if you’re the only developer trying to automate or REST-ify a business...
