Deploying FastAPI applications to Vercel
Blog post from LogRocket
The text provides a comprehensive guide on deploying FastAPI applications to Vercel, showcasing a step-by-step process of building a simple notes application. FastAPI, a modern Python web framework for building backend API applications, offers features like API documentation, security modules, and type checking. The guide begins by setting up the project structure and dependencies using virtual environments and proceeds to define the routes for CRUD operations on a temporary in-app database. It further explains how to create a model schema using Pydantic and test the application's endpoints with tools like Postman and FastAPI's interactive docs. The deployment section details the configuration of a vercel.json file and the creation of a requirements.txt file, culminating in deploying the application to Vercel using the Vercel command line tool. Additionally, it highlights the use of LogRocket for error tracking and provides resources for further reading and accessing the code on GitHub.
