FastAPI has become one of the most popular web frameworks among Python developers. It's so popular that it often overshadows the technologies it's built on. FastAPI is built on Starlette and Pydantic. Starlette handles the HTTP layer (routing, middleware, WebSockets, the ASGI plumbing) and Pydantic handles data validation.
