FastAPI is now the most used Python framework 🏆️
Quiubo!
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.
FastAPI is now the most used Python framework
From the latest official Python Developer survey, FastAPI grew from 29% to 38%. 🚀
This now makes FastAPI the most used Python web framework. 🏆️
FastAPI Cloud, best practices by default
We're hard at work making sure FastAPI Cloud has the best practices (sensible defaults) in place, by default, so you don't have to worry about it and can focus on building amazing apps with FastAPI. 🚀
We are reinforcing security, scalability, reliability... We want you to have the best developer experience, in a Python-native way, as soon as we invite you to join FastAPI Cloud. 😎
FastAPI CLI with entrypoints
Now FastAPI CLI supports the "entrypoint" syntax to define the app you want to run:
# Entrypoint syntax
fastapi run -e some.importable_module:app_name
# Paths are still supported too
fastapi run some/importable_module.py
Go and upgrade your FastAPI version:
# Upgrade with uv
uv add --upgarde "fastapi[standard]"
# Or manually with pip
pip install --upgrade "fastapi-cli"

ChatGPT Images uses FastAPI
Do you like those fancy generated images in ChatGPT?
Well, it's a lot of FastAPI underneath:
How ChatGPT Images works. Image tokens, a decoder, multiple passes to generate an image, and also the tech stack: Python, FastAPI, C, and Temporal.

Actually, all OpenAI uses FastAPI
Calvin French-Owen wrote an article explaining how OpenAI works, so it's not just ChatGPT, all OpenAI uses a lot of FastAPI:
Pretty much everything operates around FastAPI to create APIs and pydantic for validation.
