This PR implements a comprehensive FastAPI application that demonstrates integration with three different database backends: MongoDB, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. The implementation provides a complete REST API with CRUD operations for each database type.

Overview

The application showcases how to build a modern, async FastAPI service that can work with both NoSQL (MongoDB) and SQL (MySQL, PostgreSQL) databases simultaneously. Each database has its own set of endpoints while maintaining a consistent API interface.

Key Features

Multi-Database Architecture

  • MongoDB: NoSQL document database using Motor async driver
  • MySQL: Relational database with aiomysql and SQLAlchemy 2.0
  • PostgreSQL: Relational database with asyncpg and SQLAlchemy 2.0

API Endpoints

GET /                           # API information
GET /health                     # Health check
GET|POST|PUT|DELETE /api/v1/mongodb/users/      # MongoDB CRUD
GET|POST|PUT|DELETE /api/v1/mysql/users/        # MySQL CRUD  
GET|POST|PUT|DELETE /api/v1/postgresql/users/   # PostgreSQL CRUD

Technical Implementation

  • Async/Await: Fully asynchronous database operations
  • Error Handling: Graceful handling when databases are unavailable
  • Data Validation: Pydantic v2 models with proper validation
  • Configuration: Environment-based configuration with .env support
  • Testing: Comprehensive test suite with pytest

Usage Examples

Quick Start

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Start the application
python main.py

# Run interactive demo
python demo.py

With Docker

# Start all databases
docker-compose up -d

# Application will connect to all three databases
python main.py

API Usage

# Create a user in MongoDB
curl -X POST "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/mongodb/users/" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"name": "John Doe", "email": "john@example.com", "age": 30}'

# Get all users from MySQL
curl "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/mysql/users/"

# Update user in PostgreSQL
curl -X PUT "http://localhost:8000/api/v1/postgresql/users/1" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{"name": "Jane Doe", "age": 25}'

Database Models

Each database uses a consistent User model structure:

{
  "name": "string",
  "email": "string", 
  "age": "integer",
  "created_at": "datetime"  # auto-generated
}

Error Handling

The application gracefully handles database unavailability:

  • Returns appropriate HTTP status codes (500/503)
  • Provides meaningful error messages
  • Continues operating even if some databases are down
  • Logs errors for debugging

Testing

All tests pass successfully:

================================ 5 passed, 1 warning ================================
✅ Root endpoint functionality
✅ Health check endpoint
✅ MongoDB endpoint (proper error handling)
✅ MySQL endpoint (proper error handling) 
✅ PostgreSQL endpoint (proper error handling)

Documentation

  • Auto-generated API docs: Available at /docs (Swagger UI) and /redoc (ReDoc)
  • Comprehensive README: Installation, usage, and development guide
  • Demo script: Interactive demonstration of all features
  • Docker support: Complete development environment setup

This implementation provides a solid foundation for applications requiring multiple database backends and demonstrates best practices for FastAPI development with async database operations.
