Safety, Security, and Deployment·Lesson 22 of 24·20 min

FastAPI, async patterns, rate limiting, and scaling

This lesson is for enrolled learners

Concept Everything built so far has run as a script or notebook. Deploying an agent as a service means wrapping it in an HTTP API that handles concurrent users, enforces limits, and stays responsive under real load — a different set of concerns than getting one request to work correctly. FastAPI (Python) or an equivalent async framework is the standard……
