Pybites Podcast

Sebastián Ramírez returns in this episode to share the evolution of his journey from open-source developer to company founder, with the launch of FastAPI Cloud. After creating tools used by developers worldwide, Sebastián explains how he found a critical gap in the app creation process - the painful transition from local development to production deployment. Throughout our conversation, we hear how Sebastián and his team are working to remove this obstacle.
We also hear some of the amazing ways that FastAPI has been adopted in mission-critical systems worldwide. From powering image generation in ChatGPT to controlling particle accelerators at CERN and managing data from the James Webb Space Telescope, FastAPI has found its way into diverse applications that impact our daily lives and scientific understanding.
