From Backend to Frontend: Connecting FastAPI and Streamlit
By Zach Merrill on 29 April 2025
In my previous Pybites article, I showed how I built and deployed a book tracking API using FastAPI, Docker, and Fly.io. That project taught me a lot about backend development, containers, and deploying modern APIs. But a backend alone isn’t enough—users need an interface. And FastAPI’s Swagger UI, while useful for testing, just isn’t user-friendly… Continue reading From Backend to Frontend: Connecting FastAPI and Streamlit
