FastAPI Cloud, Hello World 🌍️
Hello there!
If you're receiving this it's because you joined the waiting list for FastAPI Cloud. 😎
Here's a quick round of updates from FastAPI Cloud and FastAPI.
Waitlist - await join()
We are gradually inviting people to join FastAPI Cloud and we'll bring more people from the waiting list in the coming months.
We're excited to invite you soon! ⏳️
J On The Beach, Spain - Deploy FastAPI to the Cloud
I (Sebastián) had the pleasure of giving a keynote at J On The Beach in Málaga, Spain.
This was probably the first public demo of FastAPI Cloud. 🚀
If you're curious about how it looks like to use FastAPI Cloud, check the recording here: Deploy FastAPI to the cloud - J On The Beach.
PyCon Italy - Deploy FastAPI to the Cloud
I also gave a talk with a live demo during PyCon Italy in Bologna, Italy.
This is a more italian version of the live demo, with more 🤌 and pineapple pizza jokes, check the recording of Deploy FastAPI to the cloud - PyCon Italy.
...the pineapple pizza joke is in the live streaming recording intro: Pineapple Pizza at PyCon Italy.
In case this offends any Italian FastAPI developer, blame Patrick for the idea and most of the execution. 😅
FastAPI Cloud Coffee
During PyCon Italy we had a booth and part of the team was there.
If you came by, you might have gotten a FastAPI Cloud Colombian coffee bag, or a T-shirt. ☕

FastAPI keeps growing
A couple of months ago FastAPI reached 84k GitHub stars, which made it the most starred backend web framework on GitHub across programming languages. 🎉
Now in the results of the latest Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2025 the highlight was FastAPI. 🤓
The +5 point increase for FastAPI is one of the most significant shifts in the web framework space. This signals a strong trend towards using Python for building performant APIs and reflects the overall strength of the Python ecosystem.
This is from direct answers by developers taking the survey. And as you can see, on this survey, from the Python backend frameworks, FastAPI is the one used the most. 🤯
