+# FastAPI Example
+
+## Start the app locally
+
+```bash
+# install uvicorn
+pip install "uvicorn[standard]"
+
+# start the app
+export DATABRICKS_HOST="<databricks-sql-warehouse-server-hostname>"
+export DATABRICKS_PATH="<databricks-sql-warehouse-http-path>"
+uvicorn app:app --reload
+
+# send a request to the rest api
+curl -X 'GET' 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/fares'
+```
+
+## Deploy to Posit Connect
+
+Validate that `rsconnect-python` is installed:
+
+```bash
+rsconnect version
+```
+
+Or install it as documented in the [installation](https://docs.posit.co/rsconnect-python/#installation) section of the documentation.
+
+To publish, make sure `CONNECT_SERVER`, `CONNECT_API_KEY`, `DATABRICKS_HOST`, `DATABRICKS_PATH` have valid values. Then, on a terminal session, enter the following command:
+
+```bash
+rsconnect deploy fastapi . \
+  --server "${CONNECT_SERVER}" \
+  --api-key "${CONNECT_API_KEY}" \
+  --environment DATABRICKS_HOST \
+  --environment DATABRICKS_PATH
+```
+
+Note that the Databricks environment variables do not need to be resolved by the shell, so they do not include the `$` prefix.
+
+The Databricks environment variables only need to be set once, unless a change needs to be made. If the values have not changed, you don’t need to provide them again when you publish updates to the document.
+
+```
+rsconnect deploy fastapi . \
+  --server "${CONNECT_SERVER}" \
+  --api-key "${CONNECT_API_KEY}"
+```
