Neuware - FastAPI can be fast. But building an API that stays fast when traffic grows, databases become busy, dependencies slow down, and hundreds of requests arrive at the same time requires more than choosing a high-performance framework.FastAPI Performance and Scalable Architecture is a practical guide to designing, measuring, optimizing, and scaling production FastAPI applications.Instead of relying on performance myths or isolated benchmarks, this book teaches you how to understand where time is actually being spent, identify the resource limiting your application, make targeted improvements, and verify the results with realistic measurements.Throughout the book, you will build and evolve ScaleStore API, a production-minded catalog and order-processing service that exposes the same performance challenges found in real backend systems. You will move from a simple FastAPI application to an architecture using PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy, Redis, Celery, multiple application replicas, load balancing, performance testing, and production observability.You will learn how to: - Measure latency, throughput, concurrency, saturation, p95, and p99 performance- Use async I/O correctly without accidentally blocking the event loop- Control concurrency with timeouts, cancellation, connection pools, and backpressure- Profile Python code and build realistic load, stress, spike, and soak tests with k6- Optimize PostgreSQL queries, indexes, SQLAlchemy sessions, and connection pools- Prevent N+1 queries and design efficient pagination and data-access patterns- Build Redis caching with TTLs, invalidation, stampede protection, and stale-while-revalidate strategies- Move durable and CPU-heavy work to Celery workers- Design idempotent tasks, retries, queue limits, and worker-capacity strategies- Scale FastAPI with Uvicorn workers, containers, stateless replicas, and load balancers- Use autoscaling, load shedding, bulkheads, and graceful degradation- Monitor production systems with metrics, logs, traces, SLOs, alerts, and capacity dashboards- Diagnose real performance failures through hands-on labs, case studies, troubleshooting guides, and production runbooksThis is not a book about chasing the highest requests-per-second benchmark. It is about building APIs that remain predictable, measurable, resilient, and efficient under real production pressure.If you already understand the fundamentals of Python and FastAPI and are ready to move beyond simply building APIs into performance engineering and scalable backend architecture, this book provides the practical next step.Build FastAPI services that do more than run fast in development. Build systems whose limits you can measure, explain, and scale with confidence.…

FastAPI can be fast. But building an API that stays fast when traffic grows, databases become busy, dependencies slow down, and hundreds of requests arrive at the same time requires more than choosing a high-performance framework.
FastAPI Performance and Scalable Architecture is a practical guide to designing, measuring, optimizing, and scaling production FastAPI applications.
Instead of relying on performance myths or isolated benchmarks, this book teaches you how to understand where time is actually being spent, identify the resource limiting your application, make targeted improvements, and verify the results with realistic measurements.
Throughout the book, you will build and evolve ScaleStore API, a production-minded catalog and order-processing service that exposes the same performance challenges found in real backend systems. You will move from a simple FastAPI application to an architecture using PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy, Redis, Celery, multiple application replicas, load balancing, performance testing, and production observability.
You will learn how to:
• Measure latency, throughput, concurrency, saturation, p95, and p99 performance
• Use async I/O correctly without accidentally blocking the event loop
• Control concurrency with timeouts, cancellation, connection pools, and backpressure
• Profile Python code and build realistic load, stress, spike, and soak tests with k6
• Optimize PostgreSQL queries, indexes, SQLAlchemy sessions, and connection pools
• Prevent N+1 queries and design efficient pagination and data-access patterns
• Build Redis caching with TTLs, invalidation, stampede protection, and stale-while-revalidate strategies
• Move durable and CPU-heavy work to Celery workers
• Design idempotent tasks, retries, queue limits, and worker-capacity strategies
• Scale FastAPI with Uvicorn workers, containers, stateless replicas, and load balancers
• Use autoscaling, load shedding, bulkheads, and graceful degradation
• Monitor production systems with metrics, logs, traces, SLOs, alerts, and capacity dashboards
• Diagnose real performance failures through hands-on labs, case studies, troubleshooting guides, and production runbooks
This is not a book about chasing the highest requests-per-second benchmark. It is about building APIs that remain predictable, measurable, resilient, and efficient under real production pressure.
If you already understand the fundamentals of Python and FastAPI and are ready to move beyond simply building APIs into performance engineering and scalable backend architecture, this book provides the practical next step.
Build FastAPI services that do more than run fast in development. Build systems whose limits you can measure, explain, and scale with confidence.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
