# Alternatives, Inspiration and Comparisons { #alternatives-inspiration-and-comparisons }

What inspired **FastAPI**, how it compares to alternatives and what it learned from them.

## Intro { #intro }

**FastAPI** wouldn't exist if not for the previous work of others.

There have been many tools created before that have helped inspire its creation.

## Nützliche Standards. Alternative Dokumentation

Und weil das generierte Schema vom <a href="https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/master/versions/3.1.0.md" class="external-link" target="_blank">OpenAPI</a>-Standard kommt, gibt es viele kompatible Tools.

There are several alternatives, including:

* <a href="https://www.uvicorn.org/" class="external-link" target="_blank">Uvicorn</a>: a high performance ASGI server.

Here's a little bit of that history.

## Alternatives { #alternatives }

I have been creating APIs with complex requirements for several years (Machine Learning, distributed systems, asynchronous jobs, NoSQL databases, etc), leading several teams of developers.

As part of that, I needed to investigate, test and use many alternatives.

The history of **FastAPI** is in great part the history of its predecessors.
