Je suis passé de Flask à FastAPI grâce à ce cours et je ne regrette pas une seconde. La génération automatique de la documentation et la validation avec Pydantic m'ont fait gagner un temps fou. La partie sur l'asynchrone est très claire et bien amenée. J'aurais aimé un peu plus de détails sur le déploiement avec Docker en production, mais l'essentiel y est. Au final j'ai pu mettre mon API en ligne et tester chaque route sans souci, je recommande vraiment.

Avevo bisogno di portare un backend in produzione e questo corso mi ha dato esattamente quello che cercavo. Mi è piaciuto tantissimo come spiega la validazione con Pydantic e la documentazione automatica che si genera da sola. La parte sugli endpoint asincroni l'ho rivista due volte ed è valsa la pena. Anche i test con pytest sono trattati in modo concreto e non superficiale. Ho deployato la mia prima API senza intoppi, davvero soddisfatto.

Ich habe schon mit Flask gearbeitet, aber FastAPI hat mich komplett überzeugt. Die automatische Doku über Swagger und die Validierung mit Pydantic sparen so viel Zeit. Besonders gut fand ich, wie asynchrone Endpunkte erklärt wurden, denn das war für mich vorher ein Buch mit sieben Siegeln. Am Ende habe ich meine API tatsächlich deployt und sie lief auf Anhieb. Genau dieser praktische Bogen vom Design bis zum Deployment hat mir gefehlt.
