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.
