Tech With Tim: Learn Fast API With This ONE Project

Learn FastAPI with a Real-World Project

This tutorial walks you through building a production-grade FastAPI app—from installing dependencies and exploring the docs to defining Pydantic models, connecting to a database, and handling GET/POST endpoints with proper error handling and status codes. You’ll also learn to integrate ImageKit for image/video uploads, implement JWT-based authentication (including protected routes), and even spin up a simple Streamlit frontend to demo your work.

Along the way, you get clear timestamps for each section (architecture, CRUD with the DB, user auth, media operations, etc.) plus links to all the resources (ImageKit docs, FastAPI Users, complete GitHub repo) and a nod to DevLaunch’s mentorship program if you want hands-on guidance beyond tutorials. Enjoy building—and learning—by doing!
