Author Releases fastlimit Rate Limiter for FastAPI
A FastAPI developer built and published fastlimit, an open-source rate limiting library available on PyPI and GitHub. fastlimit was created to address ergonomics and feature gaps the author found in SlowAPI: unnecessary request parameters in route signatures, header injection forcing Response return types, and limited support for different limits for authenticated versus anonymous users. fastlimit injects rate-limit headers via a FastAPI Response dependency without changing route return types, hides internal request handling from handler signatures, and implements dual buckets (separate IP and user buckets). It supports three Redis-backed algorithms—sliding window (default), fixed window and token bucket—with per-limiter or per-route configurability. The author notes the library has been used in a personal project but lacks wide production battle-testing compared with SlowAPI.
FastAPI Becomes Default for Modern AI Backends
This technical article explains why FastAPI has emerged as a preferred framework for building modern AI backends. It argues that contemporary AI applications are distributed, API-driven systems that require asynchronous, high-performance, and easily scalable server frameworks. The post describes FastAPI’s core advantages — async/await support, automatic data validation via Pydantic, ASGI-based concurrency through Starlette, and high-performance serving with Uvicorn — and highlights convenience features like automatic Swagger UI documentation. The author notes common AI backend patterns (LLM calls, vector database queries, streaming responses, RAG pipelines, LangChain and agent backends) and positions FastAPI as a practical fit for these workloads. The piece includes installation and minimal example code and indicates follow-up articles on building CRUD APIs and database integration.
Real-Time APIs with Redis and Lua: 4k Updates/sec
A developer case study describes building a simple, high-throughput real-time API by using Redis as the queryable realtime state layer and moving query logic into Redis via Lua scripts. The system ingested roughly 3k–4k normalized market update messages per second from exchange WebSockets. Initial designs pulled large datasets into a Python API layer for sorting/filtering, which created a network-transfer bottleneck; pushing sorting, pagination and partial filtering into Redis reduced network overhead and latency substantially. The architecture relied on Amazon ECS for websocket consumers and APIs, Redis for live mutable state and sorted sets, and Aurora PostgreSQL for static metadata. The author emphasizes focusing on data locality, reducing unnecessary infrastructure, and only introducing added complexity when a true bottleneck emerges.
