FastAPI is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.6+ based on standard Python type hints. It puts Python at par with modern frameworks like NodeJS, so this allows me to keep using Python for my backend.
Essentially, building an app involves build a set of functions that return an output, and adding decorators around those functions in order to define the input and output types.
