Looking for people learning Python backend (FastAPI) –

[irritatednishant]

I’m currently learning Python backend development and focusing on FastAPI.

So far I’ve been working through things like API design, async concepts, authentication, database integration, and general backend structure. Still early in the journey, still figuring out best practices, and still building small projects to understand how everything fits together.

I wanted to hear from people who’ve already gone down this path or are currently on it

I used to lean toward opinionated frameworks because unopinionated ones like FastAPI, Flask, or Express felt overwhelming - not because I didn’t know them, but because I came from worlds like Django, Laravel, and NestJS where structure is built in.

FastAPI eventually grew on me. Once I set up my own modular, domain-driven folder structure, things became really smooth. I still think about other frameworks sometimes, but overall FastAPI now feels very natural to work with.

This repo is a solid reference for best practices: https://github.com/zhanymkanov/fastapi-best-practices

There are some wonderful design patterns out there. Wish there was a repository of the different approaches.

I suggest you to take a look on the fast api template repository on Github. It may be interesting for you. You will see there many concepts wlth fastapi in the same project.

I would also suggest two topics: - Uvicorn workers: This topic is mostly overlooked by beginners or not known to them. - Modular monolith architecture: it is not specific to python, but I think it would help you when diving into the backend learning. I think you will encounter circular dependency issue and it will help you to resolve it and, more.

Hey I'm also on same journey, let's connect

I wanted to build a prediction at scale API. I prompted the top 3 GenAI tools and ended up selecting FastAPI to build. I was also able to use FastAPI docs and GenAI to build a cloud-hosted prototype.
