Ten years ago, I announced uvloop and asyncpg at EuroPython. It's been a while, and I would love to repeat the thrill and announce something new.
The talk will show a totally new way of building FastAPI apps:
- streamlined: go from
git initto a working service before lunch - capable: the most advanced, statically-checked database API you can use today.
- fast: auth, schema migrations, AI - all automated and ready to ship
- performance: asyncpg-level speed, no more N+1 problem
- enjoyable: focus on product, not plumbing
I'll show you a live demo and then how the sausage was made.
