Pros
Pro Based on Laravel PHP Framework
If you are already programming in PHP with Laravel, you will have no trouble starting development with Node using Adonis.
Pro Similar to Rails
Pro Built-in modules for everything
There are built-in modules for everything: Auth, Social Auth, mailing ect
Pro Has websocket support out of the box
Pro Very good documentation
Pro Easy to learn, especially if you're already familiar with Laravel
Pro Option for full-stack or api standalone implementation
You can choose to use the full-stack version or if you wish to build a RESTful API you can choose to use the api standalone version.
Pro Dependency injection
It has a simple but powerful dependency injection system, it can be used to handle authentication, per-user rate limiting, authorization controls (e.g. with roles), etc.
Pro Standards
It is based on standards: OpenAPI, JSON Schema and OAuth 2.0.
Pro Data validation
It validates the data using the types you declared. Even in deeply nested JSON requests.
Pro High-performance
It's based on Starlette and Pydantic, so, it's one of the fastest Python frameworks.
Pro Editor completion
It is based on Python type declarations, so, editors and tools can give great support. Including type checks and autocompletion everywhere.
Pro One of the fastest growing communities
Pro Fast is really fast (!)
It's easy to develop API based applications in Python on deadlines for Android and IOS Development.
Pro Automatic docs
It generates interactive API documentation automatically from your code.
Pro Database independent
It's independent of database or ORM, but compatible with all of them. Including relational databases and NoSQL.
Pro Async IO / optional
It's based on Async IO, which gives it high concurrency. But you can use non-async libraries and it runs them appropriately.
Pro World class documentation
It has some of the best documentation of any framework.
Pro WebSockets
Because it's an async framework, it can handle async-native protocols like WebSockets.
Pro OAuth 2.0
It has integrated support for OAuth 2.0. Including declaring required scopes per endpoint. So, you can easily integrate it with external OAuth 2.0 providers or build your own with it.
Pro Background tasks
Included support for background tasks, thanks to being based on Starlette.
Pro Supports GraphQL
Python's graphene library is included as an optional dependency meaning that GraphQL API's are supported out of the box, with no additional tweaking needed.
Cons
Con No NOSQL integration
Only used ORM, not ODM.
Con Smaller community
Since FastAPI is relatively new, its community is smaller than Django Rest Framework. But it can grow with time.
