In this guide, I’ll show you how to automate Docker container deployments using GitHub Actions, Docker Hub, and a simple cron job. Whether you’re new to Docker or looking to streamline your deployment process, this tutorial will walk you through both manual and automated approaches. Part 1: The Manual Process Before building an Docker image, we setup a simple web server in main....

At work, we extensively use Azure Functions. These are serverless resources that reduce the need for infrastructure configuration and maintenance, allowing us to focus more on writing code. To create Azure Functions in Python, we can use the azure-functions package. However, I really love FastAPI as a framework for building APIs....

Any many cases your API needs to support both formats, especially when dealing with web forms and modern front-end applications that often send json payloads. This post demonstrates how to build a FastAPI application that handles and validates both JSON and from data inputs on a single endpoint.
