✅ Starting Now — LESSON 1

⭐ Lesson 1 — Introduction to FastAPI (Super Interactive & Easy)

In this lesson, you will learn:

✔ What FastAPI is
✔ Why FastAPI exists
✔ How FastAPI works behind the scenes
✔ FastAPI vs Flask (industry differences)
✔ How to install and run your first API
✔ How auto-documentation works

🧠 1. What is FastAPI? (Intuitive Explanation)

FastAPI is a high-performance Python framework used to build:

• APIs
• Microservices
• AI/ML model endpoints
• Backend services
• Realtime systems

Think of FastAPI as:

“Flask, but 10x faster, typed, async, automatically documented, and extremely scalable.”

It is built on:

• Starlette → handles HTTP/ASGI requests (super fast)
• Pydantic → validates input/output (your data is always correct)
• AsyncIO → handles thousands of requests at once

⚡ 2. Why FastAPI is so powerful

✔ Automatic docs

Open /docs → interactive API GUI

✔ Fast

As fast as Node.js and Go.

✔ Built-in validation

Catches wrong inputs automatically.

✔ Async support

Handle thousands of requests per second.

✔ Perfect for AI

Most ML model APIs are served using FastAPI.

✔ Uses Python type hints

Cleaner and safer code.

🎮 3. FastAPI Architecture — Interactive Understanding

Imagine you run a restaurant:

• Customer → API caller
• Waiter → FastAPI
• Kitchen → Business logic/ML model
• Menu → Swagger docs
• Food validation → Pydantic
• Handling 100 customers simultaneously → AsyncIO

FastAPI =
Fast waiter + auto menu + validated orders + parallel service

🔥 4. FastAPI vs Flask — Industry Comparison

Companies choosing FastAPI: Netflix, Uber, Microsoft, Amazon, HugginFace.

🧩 5. Install FastAPI & Uvicorn

Run:

pip install fastapi uvicorn

🏁 6. Your First FastAPI App (Hello World)

Create a file:

app.py

from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()

@app.get("/")
def home():
    return {"message": "Hello, Rajeev! FastAPI is running 🚀"}

Run it:

uvicorn app:app --reload

Outputs:

http://127.0.0.1:8000

Open it:

You’ll see:

{"message": "Hello, Rajeev! FastAPI is running 🚀"}

🧪 7. Explore Automatic Swagger Docs

Open:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs

You’ll get:

✔ Interactive API testing
✔ Auto-generated schemas
✔ Response models
✔ Try APIs without writing frontend code

This is one of the biggest reasons industry loves FastAPI.

🎯 8. Summary of Lesson 1 (Short & Clear)

By now you understand:

• What FastAPI is
• Why it’s fast
• Why industry uses it
• How auto-docs work
• How to build & run your first API

🚀 Ready for Lesson 2?

Lesson 2 covers:
