About the Talk
Have you heard about Python’s lightning quick web framework FastAPI? FastAPI is a relatively new Python web framework that gets performance on par with Node.js and Go APIs. In this talk, we’ll deploy our first FastAPI app and dive into the features that make this framework unique. We’ll use FastAPI and Redis to build a One Time Secret API so you can securely share secrets with people.
What You’ll Learn
- How to build and deploy your first Fast API app, a One-Time Secret app!
- Features that make the FastAPI framework unique
This Talk Is Designed For
Python developers who are curious about the new framework that’s been taking the community by storm.

bash gunicorn: command not foundusing sudo apt install gunicorn is also not allowed, so how do we start a FastAPI app?
