So clear! Very detailed comparison. I am trying to learn FastAPI in my free time while working with Django in my full-time job.

[@codingwithroby]

I know someone who made a really awesome course about FastAPI if you want to check it out 😉 (link in bio)

Django just has a lot more built in. User authentication, an ORM (Best ORM than any other Framework even ROR, Laravel or others) the admin panel and a whole lot more. You have to do it in FastAPI manually! You can use FastAPI in Django, Yes Its possible. There have also FastAPI like feature in Django called Django ninja! Django calls itself the framework for people with deadlines and it is true. It works, has a ton of support and flexibility. The actual choice is usually fastAPI vs flask as they are more comparable.

[@coff3andprograming]

If the requirements are well defined or you are a freelancer at the right time, Django is the best Python framework, but when the requirements are very changing, Django becomes a huge headache.

[@iamAliAhad]

@@coff3andprograming "but when the requirements are very changing, Django becomes a huge headache." That's not true. Sounds like skill issue, Mate.

[@codingwithroby]

I did the video for those who may not know the difference between the two. I enjoy FastAPI more but everyone has their preferences!

[@aashayamballi]

yep the fastapi comparison should be with flask

[@ifeanyinneji7704]

​@@iamAliAhadYep it's a skill issue. You can modify your Django project to fit any use case.

[@azataiot]

Do your speed test implemented the authentitcation, security, sessions frameworks in FastAPI ? Or you are comparing them as their default state? Because django includes all of above by default, while FastAPI has no security concerns for example built-in. When you remove the middlewares above from django and test them 'barely' you will find a different answer.

[@riyansh3396]

What matters is how many companies specially in your country is using Django and Fastapi, at the we all want coding jobs

[@codingwithroby]

Fair, but I’m not sure if it’s 100% accurate. The more popular one could also be more saturated

[@chakratejaboppana6716]

Hi Roby, I'm currently in the middle of your FastAPI course on Udemy, and I'm loving it! The content is clear and incredibly well-structured. Thanks for such a great resource!

[@codingwithroby]

Glad you enjoy it! ❤️

Looking for a fast API with Next.js tutorial

[@codingwithroby]

Any project ideas?

[@codernerd7076]

@codingwithroby Maybe a laundry pickup/delivery service, something down to earth that could be a real-world app, no AI, stuff or unnecessary 3rd party seevices 🤔

[@ogunniransiji2686]

@@codingwithroby I will strongly suggest a comprehensive admin dashboard system

[@skewty]

Loved Sanic, then FastAPI after struggling to change the way some lower level Django pieces. Then we struggled with FastAPI, moved to Litestar and have found their development team more responsive. Also, appreciate that Litestar has more features and doesn't couple Starlette and Pydantic. (Love Pydantic though)

[@codingwithroby]

Ahh interesting, thanks for sharing!

[@coff3andprograming]

A slightly better comparison would have been between django rest framework and FastAPI, personally I develop with both APIS and they are very good options when creating a project, if it is completely web and the application is very well thought out from start to finish I think that django rest framework has a great advantage because of the MVP pattern, its entire ecosystem and that by following the philosophy you do not repeat yourself, you already have to do quite a few things, now if the requirements are very changing or it is a product that has Viewing FastAPI data has the great advantage of being able to make modifications without breaking the code, in addition to being asynchronous and quite fast, I would not recommend using Flask for any project.

[@codingwithroby]

Maybe an upcoming video: FastAPI vs Flask vs Django Rest.. thoughts?

[@efbYouTube]

TY!! curious to hear what u think of reflex (form pynecone)

[@codingwithroby]

I have never actually used reflex - I'll take a look and see if it something I should make a video on 🙂

[@joeuuk]

why are you wearing your t-shirt inside out?

[@codingwithroby]

HAHA - I was waiting for someone to mention that.
1. It is kind of funny.
2. It had a logo I didn't want shown

[@shedrachugochukwu6245]

Thanks a lot, Eric. pardon me I have been trying to deploy a fast API app on Cpanel, but it's not working. Can you please make a video of it?

[@codingwithroby]

I’ll add it to the backlog of videos I am currently making for UA-cam 🙂

[@youssefchaabi5402]

I think you can't deploy fastapi in Cpanel ,you need a vps or cloud

[@centralcoding]

What dou you think using django and Fastapi in the same project?

[@codingwithroby]

I would probably be against it. If you want Django MVC use Rest Django along with it

[@mohammedajmal5009]

clean and understandable.👍

[@codingwithroby]

Yay! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@user-sg7pp7bv4l]

It's a really great, clear and concise comparison of fastapi and Django

[@codingwithroby]

Thank you so much, hopefully you were able to learn something!

[@user-sg7pp7bv4l]

Yes bro, I learned fastapi through your videos and created a full stack project for the final year college project..!
I got help from your 51 minute fastapi and react tutorial

[@user-sg7pp7bv4l]

I watch your videos regularly to learn fastapi in depth..!

[@codingwithroby]

This makes me so freaking happy and pumped - let’s goooooo!

[@Cpluspluscoderexpert]

very helpfull video

Glad you think so!

How can you compare Django with FastAPI and not FastAPI vs DRF?

[@codingwithroby]

I gave the people what they want haha - DRF vs FastAPI will be coming.

[@riyansh3396]

Problem with fastapi is Migrations

Alembic solves this issue
