Question
Which practice avoids a common mistake with FastAPI, Pydantic, and Request Validation?
- Ignore the FastAPI, Pydantic, and Request Validation issue and rely on team discipline instead of clearer APIs or invariants.
- Do not let the route handler become the entire application by mixing validation, orchestration, persistence, and transport detail in one function.
- Silence the FastAPI, Pydantic, and Request Validation problem by using broad catches, hidden globals, or extra shared mutable state.
- Prefer the version of FastAPI, Pydantic, and Request Validation that makes behavior less predictable as long as the code still runs.
Hint
Look for the option that protects correctness instead of hiding the problem.
Answer and rationale
Correct answer: B. Do not let the route handler become the entire application by mixing validation, orchestration, persistence, and transport detail in one function.
Do not let the route handler become the entire application by mixing validation, orchestration, persistence, and transport detail in one function. This is a common failure mode in real Python code and a frequent interview follow-up.
