Optimizing Tasking Manager: Exploring the Move to FastAPI

[kaditya97]

Some of the reasons for switching to FastAPI

• Faster performance: Utilizes ASGI server and type annotations for faster execution and better resource utilization
• Asynchronous requests
• Automatic data validation and documentation generation
• Dependency injection, reducing boilerplate code and simplifying development

For initial testing, load testing was done for /projects/{id} API. The outcome of this is below. It is just an initial test and may not be actual output.

• Flask load testing result
  

• FastAPI load testing result

The other advantage is other HOT projects are using FastAPI, so it enables better sharing of code.
