Used fastapi for 8 months, it's really fast and works with almost any existing python package, but the django ORM and admin panel is a significant advantage that DRF has over fastapi.

I believe that using one over the other boils down to whether you need the django ORM & admin and the django packages provided by the community, or you want to have control over every part of your API and a few ms in performance improvement is worth the switch and someone else is building the admin panel.

Need a full fledged FastAPI project with authentication and ReactJS as frontend

The problem is Django ORM is better, That's why Django is still better. You can optimize DRF for latency and speed.

You should have compare Async Django vs Async FastAPI. DRF is not async yet

I'm using django as fullstack and that's why I have to use Django REST for the mobile app it's not bad but I wish it would improve its performance

I was going to use django rfw or even django ninja but i decided to use fastapi in the end. Django is good but i already made my front end and it seemed complicated to get it working solely as a backend.

Looking for a course with FastAPI and Next.js with all auth features 😢

[ruksharalam]

Can you please make a similar comparison video between Async Django Ninja and FastAPI?

[aibasics]

if we have large scale features ..I means we have various features to take care in a webapp ..In that case also can we consider FastApi?

[codingwithroby]

Any other comparisons you want to see?

[helloquico]

wow, that's one FULL head of hair "you" had there in that clip :o

[joshthexengineer]

So... is django dying? What would be a good use case for it?

[kenmachine]

You are comparing an apple & a banana and asking which one is mostly an apple. ye obviously, it's the apple. django by default is sync & fastapi is async which means fastapi should be faster & by huge margins have a lower latency

I hope by Pydantic you mean `SQLMODEL` in the modern world.
