Part III. Making a Website

Part II was a quick tour of FastAPI, to get you up to speed quickly. This part will go wider and deeper into the details. We’ll build a medium-sized web service to access and manage data about cryptids—imaginary creatures—and the equally fictitious explorers who seek them.

The full service will have three layers, as I’ve discussed earlier:

Web

The web interface

Service

The business logic

Data

The precious DNA of the whole thing

Plus the web service will have these cross-layer components:

Model

Pydantic data definitions

Tests

Unit, integration, and end-to-end tests

The site design will address the following:

  • What belongs inside each layer?

  • What is passed between layers?

  • Can we change/add/delete code later without breaking anything?

  • If something breaks, how do I find and fix it?

  • What about security?

  • Can the site scale and perform well?

  • Can we keep all this as clear and simple as possible?

  • Why do I ask so many questions? Why, oh why?

QuotationMarkI wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
