Intro and Architecture Diagram

FastAPI is a modern, high-performance web framework for building APIs with Python. It acts as a central App Instance that orchestrates request handling, leveraging standard Python type hints to perform automatic data validation and generate interactive OpenAPI documentation. The framework uses a powerful Dependency Injection system to manage shared logic, database connections (via tools like SQLModel), and Security mechanisms effortlessly.
