A common pattern is a `ModelViewSet` backed by a Django ORM model — DRF handles serialization, pagination, and auth, while engineers focus on the data model and any custom filtering logic needed to serve pipeline outputs to downstream consumers.
Data engineers use FastAPI to build data APIs and microservices that serve pipeline outputs or accept data ingestion requests. Defining a Pydantic model as the request body gives automatic validation and OpenAPI docs with zero extra code. FastAPI's async support makes it ideal for services that call databases or external APIs without blocking.
