# 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.

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.

   Therefore on any CPU that does not have these instruction sets, either CPU or GPU version of TF will fail to load.
   
   Apparently, your CPU model does not support AVX instruction sets. You can still use TensorFlow with the alternatives given below:
   
      * Try Google Colab to use TensorFlow.

#### What is OpenAPI for { #what-is-openapi-for }

The OpenAPI schema is what powers the two interactive documentation systems included.

And there are dozens of alternatives, all based on OpenAPI. You could easily add any of those alternatives to your application built with **FastAPI**.

You could also use it to generate code automatically, for clients that communicate with your API. For example, frontend, mobile or IoT applications.

$ python main.py

I solemnly swear 🐺

## Alternatives { #alternatives }

This is a simple guide to get you started and teach you how everything works **underneath**.

There are many **alternatives** to managing virtual environments, package dependencies (requirements), projects.

There are several alternatives, including:

    * Objetos `datetime`.
    * Objetos `UUID`.
    * Modelos de base de datos.
    * ...y muchos más.
* Documentación interactiva automática de la API, incluyendo 2 interfaces de usuario alternativas:
    * Swagger UI.
    * ReDoc.

Volviendo al ejemplo de código anterior, **FastAPI**:

* Validará que haya un `item_id` en el path para requests `GET` y `PUT`.

    * Objetos `datetime`.
    * Objetos `UUID`.
    * Modelos de Banco de Dados.
    * ...e muito mais.
* Documentação interativa automática da API, incluindo 2 alternativas de interface de usuário:
    * Swagger UI.
    * ReDoc.

Voltando ao código do exemplo anterior, **FastAPI** irá:

* Validar que existe um `item_id` na rota para requisições `GET` e `PUT`.
