In this course, you will learn how to build a REST API using a lighter web framework for Python, i.e., FastAPI. You will learn the basics of FastAPI and learn how to implement parallel processing in Python APIs.

Finally, you will deploy your API on Microsoft Azure and build a Continuous Integration/Continuous Development (CI/CD) Pipeline using Github.

# What are synchronous web apps?
Synchronous web apps start executing at the very top of a file and execute all the way down to the bottom of the file. These web apps run each line in order and stop at the bottom. 

Let us have a look at the visualization below to understand the concept better.

# What are asynchronous web apps?
Asynchronous web apps also start out very similar to synchronous web apps. An asynchronous app will  start at the top of the file and execute the code until it gets to the bottom, but during that execution, it will run into certain asynchronous functions or code that will split off and execute that asynchronous code separately from the rest of the code. This is usually because it needs to wait for or reduce some operation that takes a long period of time. 

Let us have a look at the visualization below to understand the concept better.
