🛠️ FastAPI for Production: 6 Routing Patterns to Level Up Your API Design
FastAPI has become a favorite among Python developers for its speed, simplicity, and modern async support. But beyond the basics, there’s a powerful routing system under the hood—designed for building large, maintainable, production-grade APIs. This guide dives into advanced routing strategies that can help you keep your code modular, secure, and ready to scale. 1. 📦 Modular Routing for Clean Architecture Splitting your application into multiple routers helps keep your codebase organized. For example, you can separate users and products into their own modules and mount them under specific prefixes. app.include_router(user_router, prefix="/users") app.include_router(product_router, prefix="/products") This promotes: Better organization by domain Router reuse across projects Easier unit testing and maintenance 2. 🔀 API Versioning with Path Prefixes Need to introduce breaking...
