The advancement of AI has empowered businesses to incorporate intelligent automation into their applications. A serverless Generative AI (GenAI) API enables developers to harness cutting-edge AI models without the burden of infrastructure management. This guide walks you through building a scalable and cost-effective GenAI API using FastAPI, a high-performance Python framework with built-in async support and seamless AWS integration. By deploying FastAPI on AWS Lambda with AWS API Gateway, you can create a fully managed, pay-per-use architecture that eliminates server maintenance.
