Building a simple CRUD API Building Performant APIs with Python and Litestar Part #2

In this video, we’ll walk through building a basic CRUD API using the Litestar web framework. We’ll start by setting up routes that map to specific endpoints, then create, read, update, and delete data from a simple list-based database. Along the way, you’ll see how to organize your code with controllers and handle requests cleanly, showcasing how Litestar keeps things straightforward yet powerful for developers. By the end, you’ll have a functional CRUD API and a clear understanding of how to leverage Litestar’s routing and controller features for more advanced projects.
