FAQ
What are APIs?
APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are like 'messengers' that allow different computer programs to talk to each other and exchange information.
What does 'asynchronous' mean?
It means the program can do multiple things at once without having to wait for one task to finish before starting the next. This makes it much faster.
What are Pydantic and SQLAlchemy?
These are libraries (toolkits) in Python. Pydantic helps organize and validate data, and SQLAlchemy helps interact with databases efficiently.
