docarray VS fastapi

I’ve heard of DocArray, a library for multimodal data in transit and Pytorch Lightning which is also a tool for multimodal data. These two sound like a promising solution, but I’m not sure how to use it with databases or cloud storage. Do I need to install any additional packages or dependencies?

I'm considering using these tools for a recommender system for analyzing text data like user reviews: DocArray and the EZ-MMLA Toolkit. Can anyone share their experience with the DocArray and EZ-MMLA Toolkit? I would love to hear about others' experiences before making a final decision.

I have been thinking about trying out DocArray and the EZ-MMLA Toolkit .. Has anyone had experience with these two projects?? Let me know what you think!

For some alternatives, I know there’s DocArray where you can handle text, image and audio data. is basically a toolbox for multimodal data and then there should be Haystack which is also let you build search systems and also has to do something with Transformers and LLMs.

DocArray to manipulate data and interact with the storage backend using document store.

It's already been two weeks since the last alpha release of DocArray v2. And since then a lot has happened — we've merged features we're really proud of, and we've cried tears of joy and misery trying to coerce Python into doing what we want. If you want to learn about interesting Python edge cases or follow the advancement of DocArray v2 development then you’ve come to the right place in this blog post!

The German Fashion12k dataset is available for free use by the Jina AI community. After logging into Jina AI Cloud, you can download it directly in DocArray format:

You could try spaCy. This is the brains of the operation - an open-source NLP library for advanced NLP in Python. Another is DocArray - It's built on top of NumPy and Dask, and good for preprocessing, modeling, and analysis of text data.

FastAPI is a modern, high-performance web framework for building APIs with Python, based on standard Python type hints.

In this tutorial, I will demonstrate how to use Burr, an open source framework (disclosure: I helped create it), using simple OpenAI client calls to GPT4, and FastAPI to create a custom email assistant agent. We’ll describe the challenge one faces and then how you can solve for them. For the application frontend we provide a reference implementation but won’t dive into details for it.

That’s when I found FastAPI.

An API application framework (such as FastAPI)

It’s been my experience that async Python frameworks tend to turn IO bound problems into CPU bound problems with a high enough request rate, because due to their nature they act as unbounded queues.

This ends up made worse if you’re using sync routes.

If you’re constrained on a resource such as a database connection pool, your framework will continue to pull http requests off the wire that a sane client will cancel and retry due to timeouts because it takes too long to get a connection out of the pool. Since there isn’t a straightforward way to cancel the execution of a route handler in every Python http framework I’ve seen exhibit this problem, the problem quickly snowballs.

This is an issue with fastapi, too- https://github.com/tiangolo/fastapi/issues/5759

Fast API.

We will create our API using FastAPI, a modern high-performance web framework for building fast APIs with Python. It is designed to be easy to use, efficient, and highly scalable. Some key features of FastAPI include:
