DeprecationWarning: on_event is deprecated, use lifespan event handlers instead

FastAPI deprecated @app.on_event('startup') and @app.on_event('shutdown') in favor of asynccontextmanager lifespan handlers.

💡 Verified Solution

Wrap startup and shutdown logic in an asynccontextmanager function and pass it as lifespan= to FastAPI.
