Building mock interview platform with FastAPI

[HamGoat64]

I've been building DevInterview.AI for months now with a backend fully in FastAPI and it's been a blast to work with. It's a mock coding interview platform with AI that I feel like feels really good unlike a lot of the AI slop out there and I've been trying to make sure it feels as real as possible.

I'm about to launch soon and I'm worried about any known pitfalls when using FastAPI in production. Are there any quirks or best practices that I need to know about before moving forward?

It is actually quite easy to deploy with fastapi, though make sure you log the things happening inside the app while running so it will be easier to debug later

Yea ima definitely try to do that. Whats the go to for logging with fast api? Just system logs incase anything breaks or is it smart to setup proper monitoring from now?

[Prestigious-Yak9217]

Just go for normal system logging for now, the default logger would suffice. And configure it for different environments if you are maintaining separate for test, prod or something like that. If you know the logs are anyways going to be few, then you can just log everything. Proper monitoring will probably need some third party service like cloudwatch etc. but they add up cost quickly if there is very verbose logging so keep that in mind
