## GraphQL with Strawberry { #graphql-with-strawberry }

If you need or want to work with **GraphQL**, <a href="https://strawberry.rocks/" class="external-link" target="_blank">**Strawberry**</a> is the **recommended** library as it has the design closest to **FastAPI's** design, it's all based on **type annotations**.

app = FastAPI(lifespan=lifespan)


@app.get("/predict")
async def predict(x: float):
    result = ml_models["answer_to_everything"](x)
    return {"result": result}
```

**Note**: This is the recommended way going forward, instead of using `startup` and `shutdown` events.

Read more about it in the new docs: [Advanced User Guide: Lifespan Events](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/advanced/events/).
