Use FastAPI

Why?

It has the ability to significantly reduce issues around input validation with LESS CODE than Flask.

It has the ability to automatically generate OpenAPI docs to be ingested by users/integrating services.

It can run async out of the box and can run with Go and Node.js in terms of performance while still offering the simplicity of Python.

Changes

  • Unify API function to simplify migration.
  • Type check inputs/outputs to API functions
  • Further separate API functions and database functions
  • Authentication overhaul as FlaskUser and FastAPIUser are not similar.

Additional Considerations

  • Leverage async/await to maximize processing while waiting for the database to get back.
  • Migrate database models to DynamoDB or similar object store
  • Simplify process of generating API keys for both users and 3rd party developers.
  • Don't rely on server state to facilitate migration to serverless architecture
