The Ultimate High-performance Microservices with Python & FastAPI: A Hands-On Guide to Distributed Systems, Event-Driven

Tired of slow Python backends that crash under real-world traffic? You can't build the next generation of web services using yesterday's frameworks. Monolithic architecture and synchronous code are killing your performance and your scaling budget.

This is the definitive guide to mastering FastAPI and building truly scalable systems. Jesse M. Poulos cuts through the complexity to show you how to leverage Python's speed for high-throughput microservices. Stop managing complexity, and start mastering scale.
This book is your hands-on roadmap to becoming a senior-level backend architect. You will master:

High-Velocity Performance: Deep dive into async Python to build services that handle thousands of requests per second, far outperforming traditional web frameworks.

Event-Driven Architecture (EDA): Master the industry-standard pattern of decoupling services using Kafka and implementing the Saga Pattern for rock-solid data consistency.

Resilience and Robustness: Build services that don't just work, but are designed to survive failure using Circuit Breakers and advanced error management techniques.

Cloud-Native Deployment: Go from local code to a multi-service production environment by confidently using Docker and Kubernetes (K8s).

Observability: Implement Distributed Tracing and modern metrics to instantly locate bottlenecks and debug issues across your entire system.

If you're a developer ready to move past starter projects and build the next generation of high-traffic, resilient applications, this is your ultimate resource. Learn the battle-tested, real-world patterns that drive the world's largest
