API Development from Scratch

Build production-ready FastAPI services with best practices baked in.

Deliverables:
  • RESTful API design and implementation
  • OpenAPI/Swagger documentation
  • Pydantic models and validation
  • Authentication (JWT, OAuth2, API keys)
  • Rate limiting and security headers

AI/ML API Services

Build FastAPI backends specifically designed for AI workloads.

Deliverables:
  • LLM integration endpoints
  • Streaming response support
  • Background task processing
  • Model serving infrastructure
  • Cost monitoring and optimization

Microservices Architecture

Design and implement scalable microservices using FastAPI.

Deliverables:
  • Service decomposition strategy
  • Inter-service communication
  • API gateway integration
  • Docker containerization
  • Kubernetes deployment configs

Why I Choose FastAPI for AI Projects

After building backends with Django, Flask, and Node.js, I’ve found FastAPI to be the ideal choice for AI/ML systems:

Performance: Async support means efficient handling of I/O-bound LLM calls Type Safety: Pydantic models catch errors before they hit production Documentation: Auto-generated OpenAPI docs reduce integration time Modern Python: Full support for async/await, type hints, and dataclasses

My FastAPI Production Template

Every FastAPI project I build includes:

  • Structured logging with correlation IDs
  • Health checks and readiness probes
  • Graceful shutdown handling
  • Database connection pooling
  • Redis caching layer
  • Comprehensive error handling
  • Request/response validation
  • Security middleware (CORS, rate limiting, headers)

Why FastAPI?

FastAPI has become my go-to framework for Python backends because it hits the sweet spot of performance, developer experience, and production readiness.

AI Backend for IP Management

@ Anaqua (RightHub)
Challenge:

Build a unified AI backend to power multiple LLM features across the platform.

Solution:

Designed FastAPI microservices architecture with standardized AI service templates, shared authentication, and centralized LLM cost tracking.

Result:

99.9% uptime, 50% faster search, became the AI backbone for the entire product.

Email Generation API

@ Flowrite
Challenge:

Handle 100K+ users with fast, reliable email generation while controlling costs.

Solution:

Built FastAPI service with streaming responses, intelligent model routing, and Redis caching for common patterns.

Result:

Sub-second response times, 40-50% cost reduction.

Real-time IoT Data API

@ Spiio
Challenge:

Ingest and serve data from 1,000+ soil sensors with 40,000+ hourly data points.

Solution:

FastAPI with async database operations, efficient batch processing, and WebSocket support for real-time updates.

Result:

Handled 10x traffic growth without infrastructure changes.
