FastAPI and Digital Ocean's App Platform
This is a sample repo on how to deploy a FastAPI app to Digital Ocean's One-Click deploy PAAS known as App Platform. At this time they don't have an example for FastAPI. They have examples for the rest of Python Web Apps. The most important files here are the Procfile and gunicorn.conf.py file. This app will run as is and is hosted on the app platform so you can check it out by clicking on that shiny Deploy to DigitalOcean button. If you don't have a DigitalOcean account, use my link to get a $100 credit for the first 60 days. You have no excuse to deploy FastAPI now!
If you haven't heard of FastAPI, it's a really clean statically and runtime typed Python web framework to make Restful APIs fast! FastAPI's documentation is a great resource and will have you up and running with it in no time. I took the time to learn it using TestDrivenIO's FastAPI course and I can't recommend it enough. You will have to know the basics of the web framework to take the course. Reading the first couple of sections of the FastAPI documentation should be good enough. Or you can calmly learn the basics of FastAPI with Calmcode.io's FastAPI video course. When you purchase this course TestDrivenIO donates 10% of the course profits to FastAPI and is a Silver Sponsor of this AMAZING web framework.
