Async Python, Pydantic and FastAPI

Comes up in: Python, AI engineering

This concept is being written. It gets the full five steps — explanation, predict, interview angle, practice with tests, and review cards. Here is exactly what it will cover, so you can study it elsewhere in the meantime.

What it covers

  • async/await and the event loop (asyncio) compared with JS
  • gathering tasks and limiting concurrency (semaphores)
  • Pydantic models for validation
  • FastAPI endpoints with streaming responses
  • pytest basics

Words you will know

What you will practise

  • FastAPI endpoint that streams an LLM response (mock in CI)

Interview questions this answers

  • What is Pydantic used for?
