This discussion was really valuable to see.
I started off with FastAPI, and it got me off the ground really quickly without a lot of boilerplate, and my API was mostly read only, internal, I didn't even bother with authentication at this point. The prototype worked well.
But then I started to add in all the grown-up, boring stuff and realized would have to do a lot from scratch. Now porting it to Django/DRF and the stability feels really nice. I kinda wish I had just started with DRF now.
