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.
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.
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.
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 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 🤔
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!
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.
I personally like FastAPI than Django. Django has a lot thing going on. but feel like it has a lot of necessary things have to take care of. Unless your life was fully into django, it's not worth it. Plus it's based all around MVC concept. Even you got RestAPI, it's lost it's purpose. You may start wondering why I need to use Django if I need to achieve this and that.
It depends on project and client demand, like if project going to end up needing admin, middleware, orm, then ig django is better, if client requirement changes cauze lot of code changes and more features or have limitations of django like nosql, socketio communication it's better to use fastapi, imo fastapi is being adopted well cuz of well documentation to support runtime type checks and proper explanation of async which flask launched late and fastapi being the buzz and having everything modern made flask live under shadows for now. Hope it gets into light one day but based on req/sec tests fastapi is really faster in python side for backend.
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

@@coff3andprograming "but when the requirements are very changing, Django becomes a huge headache." That's not true. Sounds like skill issue, Mate.
I did the video for those who may not know the difference between the two. I enjoy FastAPI more but everyone has their preferences!
yep the fastapi comparison should be with flask
@@my_name_is_ahadYep it's a skill issue. You can modify your Django project to fit any use case.
So clear! Very detailed comparison. I am trying to learn FastAPI in my free time while working with Django in my full-time job.
I know someone who made a really awesome course about FastAPI if you want to check it out 😉 (link in bio)

Hey there, great question. This is out of the box performance testing, so their default state.

Ahh interesting, thanks for sharing!
Looking for a fast API with Next.js tutorial
Any project ideas?

@@codingwithroby ecommerce since that is the booming market nowadays
@@codingwithroby I will strongly suggest a comprehensive admin dashboard system
What matters is how many companies specially in your country is using Django and Fastapi, at the we all want coding jobs
Fair, but I’m not sure if it’s 100% accurate. The more popular one could also be more saturated

Glad you enjoy it! ❤️
What dou you think using django and Fastapi in the same project?
I would probably be against it. If you want Django MVC use Rest Django along with it
why are you wearing your t-shirt inside out?
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
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?
I’ll add it to the backlog of videos I am currently making for UA-cam 🙂
I think you can't deploy fastapi in Cpanel ,you need a vps or cloud

Maybe an upcoming video: FastAPI vs Flask vs Django Rest.. thoughts?
@@codingwithroby yes please
TY!! curious to hear what u think of reflex (form pynecone)
I have never actually used reflex - I'll take a look and see if it something I should make a video on 🙂
There is no competitor to Django as a Web framework , if you are using Fastapi to build a web app then you are wasting your/company's time.
Django is better when dealing with the entire app- - FastAPI is better if you are scaling a BE web services for a FE SPA app.

How can you compare Django with FastAPI and not FastAPI vs DRF?
I gave the people what they want haha - DRF vs FastAPI will be coming.
It's a really great, clear and concise comparison of fastapi and Django
Thank you so much, hopefully you were able to learn something!
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
I watch your videos regularly to learn fastapi in depth..!
This makes me so freaking happy and pumped - let’s goooooo!
clean and understandable.👍
Yay! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
very helpfull video
Glad you think so!
Problem with fastapi is Migrations
Alembic solves this issue
