Modern FastAPI uses an asynccontextmanager lifespan handler to manage startup initialization and shutdown cleanup cleanly.
FastAPI handles synchronous def functions by running them in an internal threadpool, preventing blocking of the async event loop.
FastAPI is built directly on top of Starlette for web routing and Pydantic for data schemas.
Statelessness ensures that server-side session state is avoided, improving scalability and reliability across stateless microservices.
Webhooks eliminate inefficient periodic API polling by transmitting event notifications immediately via HTTP POST endpoints.
FastAPI achieves high performance by leveraging ASGI (Starlette) and native async execution for non-blocking I/O.
FastAPI utilizes Pydantic models to enforce request data schema validation and automatically serialize response data.
