fastapi-azure-auth VS uvicorn-gunicorn-fastapi-docker

I'm under the impression that you work for a company that sells services related to FastAPI? https://github.com/Intility/fastapi-azure-auth

I maintain an open source library in my spare time for free, that you are welcome to ignore if you find better alternatives.

The documentation has a full tutorial in “Tiangolo-style”, which means it guided through setting up a project from scratch, and how to configure Azure appregs from scratch.

I think, in general, most FastAPI and Pydantic related libraries are heavily typed, use poetry, GitHub pipelines, black, isort, flake8 etc. so if you want to look at the ecosystem around a package I’ll recommend a few here, that has a smaller scope than the huge libraries Pydantic/FastAPI are. All packages listed below has all these things.

FastAPI-Azure-Auth [0] is a library to do authentication and authorization through Azure AD using tokens.

ASGI—Correlation-ID[1] is a package that utilizes contextvars to store information through the asyncio stack, in order to attach correlation/request ID to every log message from a request. Available for Django in [2].

Pydantic-factories [3] is an awesome library to mock data for your pydantic models.

If you want to use an external auth provider, I have written a library called FastAPI-Azure-Auth for authentication and authorization using Azure AD (which is free for something like 10.000 users). The tutorial should get you up and running quickly. Please note that this library is only intended to use for APIs (such as I sing a SPA frontend), so if you use jinja templates or render HTML from FastAPI this might not be the solution for you.

Hi! I’m the author of FastAPI-Azure-Auth, a package to handle Azure AD authentication and authorization for your FastAPI APIs. It’s a heavily tested package, supports trio, and the documentation has a full tutorial on how to set up both Azure and FastAPI from scratch.

I agree with you. Most my packages are around ~100 stars, and I'm met with a lot of respect and appreciatio.n[1][2]

My library for Correlation-IDs in Django[3] got implemented by AWX, which also was a nice experience![4] I maintain a lot of small packages, and maybe it is the Django/FastAPI community, but "you'll get a load of entitled users" is straight up not true in my experience.

The documentation[1] contains a full tutorial on how to configure Azure AD and FastAPI for both single- and multi-tenant applications. It includes examples on how to lock down your APIs to certain scopes, tenants, roles etc.

You can use gunicorn to mange uvicorn processes, eg:https://github.com/tiangolo/uvicorn-gunicorn-fastapi-docker

The timeouts suggestion is interesting because I haven't really configured them beyond the default https://github.com/tiangolo/uvicorn-gunicorn-fastapi-docker

There is a prepackaged docker image using uvicorn/gunicorn from the same guy who made fastapi. Read me should be enough for you to get going. https://github.com/tiangolo/uvicorn-gunicorn-fastapi-docker Also be worth reading offical docs on doing this yourself too. https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/uk/deployment/docker/

You can easily deploy your FastAPI app via Docker using FastAPI provided docker image
