Looks like FastAPI framework with handler type anotations
Related: are there any good Python libs for doing request/response validation based on OpenAPI v3 schemas?
Secondly I find it really impressive that such a large company with so many smart people can produce an application so mediocre and make the experience extra terrible and me wonder what the absolute fuck is up with that company by trying to block desktop browsers from the perfectly useable on desktop web app (the one in which you can upload things).
Especially for a photo centric application (that has since begun to be used for original video production, of course hampered by the insane lack of any options, starting with the aspect ratio) one could expect a normal work flow to include transferring photos from a camera to a desktop computer. Making your browser pretend to be a mobile phone seems like a step that could maybe, if you really tried (to take out the arbitrary restriction that you must have explicitly added in the first place), be made unnecessary.
So that's my (condensed) rant about Instagram as a whole.
I'd love to see some more details on the tooling they created to generate OpenAPI schemas by extracting types from their code. Related: are there any good Python libs for doing request/response validation based on OpenAPI v3 schemas?
I find it really impressive that such a large organization runs anything on Python. Isn't the speed optimization potential immense? Does the amount of Python involved just not matter compared to image data?

The whole Type thing in Python and all the workarounds to make Python type-safish looks and feels absolutely pathetic. I have no idea why a company like Facebook takes so much time to apologize for the inadequacy of Python as a programming language in the broader sense. Especially since they are utilizing a service based architecture they easily could make the switch to a language that actually supports types. Also t…

Yeah I feel FastAPI will become the new Flask in a few years. The growth this year has been amazing. I wish I had started my project with it, but I am still using Flask. I found this nice extension though called Flask-Rebar that does a similar task with Marshmallow.
What else does it offers besides performance (switching to async is no free lunch)?

- Integrates nicely with some existing libraries (Starlette, Pydantic)
- Well documented
- Auto-validation of endpoints from data models
- Auto-generation of OpenAPI schemas from those models
- Auto-serves live API docs from that schema
- Easy definition of sync and async endpoints
Again, it was just a tiny proof-of-concept prototype, but I'm sold on using it on future projects.
