In this hands-on project-driven tutorial you’ll spin up a complete FastAPI app: from installing and exploring basics (routes, status codes, Pydantic models) to connecting a database and using ImageKit to upload and serve images and videos seamlessly. You’ll also see how to handle CRUD operations in the database, raise proper errors and responses, and sprinkle in useful features like query/path parameters and typed request bodies.Once the foundation’s set, dive into JWT-powered user authentication, lock down endpoints, and even whip up a simple Streamlit frontend for a full-stack feel. Code examples, docs links and exact timestamps are all provided to keep you on track—no fluff, just real production-ready know-how.
