Updated Nov 27, 2025
Practical Examples
Create CRUD endpoints for users
Serve ML model predictions
Add JWT authentication middleware
Integrate with async databases like SQLAlchemy or Tortoise-ORM
Expose WebSocket endpoints for real-time updates
Troubleshooting
Check server logs for exception tracebacks
Ensure async functions are awaited
Validate Pydantic model field types
Verify dependencies are injected correctly
Use test clients to validate API behavior
Testing Guide
Use pytest for unit and integration tests
Use FastAPI TestClient for request simulation
Mock dependencies for isolated tests
Validate response models in tests
Use coverage tools to ensure test completeness
Deployment Options
