Building Python Microservices with FastAPI

Building Python Microservices with FastAPI

Overview of this book

FastAPI is an Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface (ASGI)-based framework that can help build modern, manageable, and fast microservices. Because of its asynchronous core platform, this ASGI-based framework provides the best option when it comes to performance, reliability, and scalability over the WSGI-based Django and Flask. When working with Python, Flask, and Django microservices, you’ll be able to put your knowledge to work with this practical guide to building seamlessly manageable and fast microservices. You’ll begin by understanding the background of FastAPI and learning how to install, configure, and use FastAPI to decompose business units. You’ll explore a unique and asynchronous REST API framework that can provide a better option when it comes to building microservices. After that, this book will guide you on how to apply and translate microservices design patterns in building various microservices applications and RESTful APIs using the FastAPI framework. By the end of this microservices book, you’ll be able to understand, build, deploy, test, and experiment with microservices and their components using the FastAPI framework.

Creating async CRUD transactions using Motor

Motor is an asynchronous driver that relies on the AsyncIO environment of the FastAPI. It wraps PyMongo to produce non-blocking and coroutine-based classes and methods needed to create asynchronous repository layers. It is almost like PyMongo when it comes to most of the requirements except for the database connectivity and repository implementation.

But before we proceed, we need to install the motor extension using the following pip command:

pip install motor

Setting up the database connectivity

Using the AsyncIO platform of the FastAPI, the Motor driver opens a connection to the MongoDB database through its AsyncIOMotorClient class. When instantiated, the default connection credential is always localhost at port 27017. Alternatively, we can specify the new details in str format through its constructor. The following script shows how to create a global AsyncIOMotorClient reference with the specified database credentials:
