Overcoming Challenges and Milestones in My FastAPI Journey

I’m excited to share a significant milestone in my FastAPI learning journey! After facing initial hurdles with file uploads on Vercel, I’ve successfully implemented image uploads into my library management system project.


One of the biggest challenges I encountered was figuring out how to handle image uploads within my API. After extensive research, I decided to leverage Cloudinary for its ease of use and free tier. Integrating Cloudinary allowed me to seamlessly add book images to my system and generate corresponding URLs.


Here’s an example of a book image URL generated by Cloudinary:
