What you'll learn

Far too many web frameworks focus on simplicity at the expense of performance. FastAPI delivers both! In this course, FastAPI: Asynchronous Programming and Performance Operations, you’ll learn to use FastAPI to create ASGI based web applications. First, you’ll experience the difference an event loop makes, in terms of throughput and latency. Next, you’ll discover how dependency injection and async syntax simplify sharing resources. Finally, you’ll learn how to build real-time WebSockets and Server-sent-events with just a few lines of code. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of FastAPI needed to develop web apps that your users love.
