Book synopsis

Spinning up your first web service can feel overwhelming-routing, validation, security, databases, testing, and deployment all at once.

This beginner-friendly guide walks you through building real projects step by step, so you can ship reliable, high-performance services with confidence. You'll learn modern patterns, write clean, type-safe code, and deploy with professional tooling-without getting lost in theory.

What You'll Learn

• Set up a production-ready environment and run your app with an ASGI server (Uvicorn) for excellent throughput.

• Design RESTful endpoints with input validation using Pydantic models, type hints, and dependency injection.

• Write scalable code with asynchronous programming using asyncio, call external services with HTTPX, and schedule background tasks.

• Implement robust security using OAuth2 and JWT authentication, plus sensible configuration for headers and CORS.

• Persist data with SQLModel and SQLAlchemy, using SQLite for local work and PostgreSQL in production.

• Add interactive docs with Swagger UI, test with pytest, containerize with Docker, and ship using continuous integration and cloud deployment workflows.

Who This Book Is For
New and aspiring backend developers, Python programmers moving into service development, and product-minded engineers who want a practical, project-driven path from "hello world" to production.
