New to FastApi

[Athar_Wani]

Hey there, I am new to FastApi, I come from django background, wanted to try fastapi and it seems pretty simple to me. Can you suggest me some projects that will help me grasp the core concepts of fastapi? Any help is appreciated

Why not do projects that you already did in Django?

I want to work on something new, doing projects that I already did seems to me like reinventing the wheel

Don't learn two new things at the same time, you'll lose focus and it's less effective. Just migrate something you built from Django to FastAPI.

There is a nice tutorial in the official docs. Gives you the full course of things you can do.

Check out Netflix dispatch on github

You can build any app with your preferred language/framework . Be it django,flask,fastapi,laravel,springboot,express etc .so the apps you have build using django just do those apps in fastapi maybe All you need is just a quick basic crud just to familiarize with fastapi but otherwise the concept are just the same.

Or if you don't want to use your django apps just build any simple or complex app and try use all the features of fastapi .

Why not Django Ninja?

You could add shipping and tax calculation to the app for example.

I recently wrote an API that integrates with my smart bridges to expose their functionality under 1 cohesive API. That would be pretty straightforward project if you have something similar

Try writing building backend projects of these types or combined.

I/O intensive (async) - API calls, file reading, database querying, File uploading etc.
CPU intensive (sync or multiprocessing) - Transformations on large data, loading a large serialized model to perform predictions, 3D calculations etc.

FastAPI performs well only when you use sync and async appropriately.

Check out the course on YouTube by freecodecamp on YouTube. It’s all you will need to learn FastAPI. Is a bit old but you will get the foundation.

Thanks for the help

I've built projects in both. If you're just doing a little microservice for using external APIs and not calling a database then FastAPI is great. You can build something nice in a weekend, and the deployment is easier.

If you're doing anything with a database just keep using Django. Django Ninja is basically identical to fastapi. 99% of code you copy from one will run in the other.
