fastapi file upload best practices: a restack.io inspired tutorial

this tutorial demonstrates best practices for handling file uploads in fastapi, drawing inspiration from restack.io's emphasis on robust, efficient, and secure applications. we'll cover various aspects, from basic uploads to handling large files, validation, security, and efficient storage.

*i. setting up the project:*

1. *install dependencies:*



`fastapi` is our web framework. `uvicorn` is the asgi server. `python-multipart` handles multipart/form-data requests (file uploads). `aiofiles` provides asynchronous file i/o for better performance with large files.


2. *project structure:*




3. *`main.py` (fastapi application):*




4. *`utils.py` (helper functions):*



*ii. handling large files:*

the use of `aiofiles` is crucial for efficiently handling large files. synchronous file i/o (`open()`/`write()`) would block the event loop, making your application unresponsive. `aiofiles` provides asynchronous operations, allowing other tasks to run concurrently.

consider streaming uploads for exceptionally large files to avoid loading the entire file into memory. fastapi doesn't directly support streaming uploads in the same way as `uploadfile`, but you can build it manually using request body iteration. example:



*iii. validation and security:*

*file type validation:* the `validate_file` function ensures only allowed file types are accepted. this prevents malicious uploads (e.g., executable files). adjust `allowed_extensions` according to your needs.

*file size limits:* the `max_file_size_bytes` variable sets a maximum file size. this prevents denial-of-service attacks caused by uploading excessively large files.

*sanitize filenames:* before saving, sanitize filenames to prevent directory traversal attacks. use a library like `os.path.basename()` to get only the filename without path information, or use a more robust solution involving c ...
