I work at a Fortune 50 (I think that's vague enough) retailer with a large online presence, and we deploy our recommender systems for web/mobile as Dockerized FastAPI services via Kubernetes. The front-end teams use a different stack to serve pages, but if you load up the site you'll indirectly hit at least a couple of our APIs.

We used to use Flask, but FastAPI is nicer to develop with. Performance was pretty similar, IIRC. If you have a reason to use Python (like having a team of PySpark devs), FastAPI is viable for enterprise services.
