FastAPI for Busy Software Engineers

Do you really want another 20–hour course (which will probably gather dust)? This is the no–fluff alternative you’ve been searching for. Go from zero to confident with FastAPI in a single morning – and keep a reference guide you will return to time and again.

I’ve got skin in the game: I run my own SaaS platform on FastAPI, and have run it in production for multiple significant client projects.

This course covers all key areas you need quickly. That means it’s an intermediate course – there’s no Python syntax basics or what is a REST API filler. It’s right into FastAPI and very much we’re all adults here , with references and additional reading for those who want to go deep down the rabbit hole. That doesn’t mean I gloss over important details, quite the opposite.

The whole course is entirely project–based and will take you through all the key elements of a production–ready FastAPI application:

Endpoint Basics

Working with Pydantic

Error Handling

Serving HTML with Jinja2 Templates

Working with a Database (SQLite and Postgres) via ORM (SQLAlchemy) & DB migrations (alembic)

How to Structure Your FastAPI Projects for Production

Setting Up Auth (JWT)

Unlocking Async Performance

FastAPI’s Dependency Injection Framework + Testing
