    Hugo Quick Start on Render

    This is the simplest CRUD API you can build with FastAPI. We used a `dict` to store the items, and a global counter to generate the IDs, to simulate a database. ## Deploy to Render For those who don't know, [Render](https://render.com) is a cloud platform that allows you to deploy your applications with ease. For small projects, and hobby projects, it's free. 🎉 !!! note I'm not affiliated with Render, and they do not sponsor me in any way. After you create an account, you'll see this **Overview** page: ![Render Deployment](https://cdn.zuplo.com/www/media/posts/2025-01-26-fastapi-tutorial/image.png) Click on the **Deploy a Web Service**, and you'll see this page: ![Deploy a web service](https://cdn.zuplo.com/www/media/posts/2025-01-26-fastapi-tutorial/image-1.png) If there's no repository on the list, you can click on the **Credentials** tab, and connect to your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket account. I usually only give permissions to the repositories I want to deploy. I follow the security principle of least privilege, whenever possible. 🤓 Cool! Now we can select the repository, and configure the deployment settings. ![Render deployment settings](https://cdn.zuplo.com/www/media/posts/2025-01-26-fastapi-tutorial/image-2.png) You shouldn't need to change anything here, maybe you can select a region closer to you. I live in The Netherlands, so I selected Frankfurt. If you go down, you'll see the **Build command**, change it to: ```bash pip install fastapi uvicorn
