Build this
Production FastAPI service with structured logging and tests.
Production reality
- ! Memory leaks
- ! GIL limitations
- ! Dependency conflicts
- ! Slow cold starts
Interview preparation
- Async vs sync for I/O-bound ML APIs
- How do you structure a production Python service?
Explore Python in the interactive universe or train with live cohorts.
