FastAPI is a modern, fast web framework for building APIs with Python. Combined with Uvicorn (ASGI server), it provides excellent performance and automatic API documentation.
**Benefits:**
- **Fast** : Built on Starlette and Pydantic
- **Auto-docs** : Automatic OpenAPI/Swagger documentation
- **Type-safe** : Full type hints and validation
- **Easy** : Minimal boilerplate code
- **Monitoring** : Built-in logging and metrics

### 4. Test Your API
Your API will be available at:
- **API** : http://localhost:8000
- **Documentation** : http://localhost:8000/docs
- **Alternative docs** : http://localhost:8000/redoc

## Best Practices
1. **Error Handling** : Always wrap agent execution in try-catch blocks
2. **Validation** : Use Pydantic models for request validation
3. **Rate Limiting** : Implement rate limiting for production APIs
4. **Authentication** : Add proper authentication for sensitive endpoints
5. **Logging** : Log all requests and responses for debugging
6. **Monitoring** : Add health checks and metrics
7. **Testing** : Write tests for your API endpoints
8. **Documentation** : Keep your API documentation up to date

### Performance Tips
1. **Connection pooling** : Reuse agent instances when possible
2. **Async operations** : Use async/await for I/O operations
3. **Caching** : Cache frequently requested responses
4. **Load balancing** : Use multiple worker processes for high traffic
