FastAPI is a framework for developing APIs with Python 3.6+. It is the third-fastest Python web framework, behind Scarlette and Uvicorn. Simplicity and speed are the main reasons behind this framework’s growth.
(In fact, this is why Netflix uses FastAPI for internal crisis management.)
The project has over 52,000 stars on GitHub.

FastAPI is part of the Python Web Framework meta trend.
Python is on track to become the #1 programming language in the next few years.
Over the past five years, Python grew by approximately 19%, helping it become the 3rd most used language.
And Python is already the most popular language in terms of how often tutorials are searched for in Google.
Easy to learn, a wide range of applications, and a growing number of development resources are the primary reasons behind this trend.
