Deploy FastAPI to the cloud
summary
Builds a small FastAPI app locally, runs it with Uvicorn and a virtualenv, then uses the FastAPI Cloud CLI to send code and dependency descriptions and deploys successfully to HTTPS. Queries GitHub with a GraphQL query via httpx in a get_discussions_count function, reads a GitHub token from env, and exposes an endpoint that returns discussion answer counts. Creates a shields.io dynamic JSON badge for docs. Claims about 3 million downloads daily and automatic scale-to-zero autoscaling.
