Soseki

A lightweight, batteries-included Flask framework designed for rapidly building internal tools, admin panels, and data-driven web applications.

Soseki takes care of the repetitive infrastructure—authentication, database management, background jobs, API controls, and logging—so you can focus on building the features that matter. Perfect for prototypes, internal dashboards, and production-ready utilities that need to ship fast without sacrificing structure.

Features

  • 🔐 User Management - Complete authentication system with Flask-User
  • 📊 Database Management - SQLAlchemy integration with dual database support (app + logs)
  • Job Scheduling - Background job execution with APScheduler
  • 📧 Email Support - Built-in email functionality with Flask-Mail
  • 🔌 API Gateway - API key management and rate limiting
  • 📝 Request Logging - Comprehensive request/response logging
  • 🛠️ Database Versioning - Built-in database migration support
  • 🛠️ CLI - interactive command line for quick feature development and testing
  • 🎨 Customizable - YAML-based configuration system

Requirements

  • Python 3.10 or higher
  • Flask 3.0+
  • SQLAlchemy 2.0+
