FastAPI Template

This repo is kind of a template I use when starting up new FastAPI projects:

  • easy local development
    • environment with configured postgres
    • script to lint code with ruff and ruff format
  • SQLAlchemy with slightly configured alembic
    • async SQLAlchemy engine
    • pessimistic connection pooling configuration (link)
    • migrations set in easy to sort format (YYYY-MM-DD_slug)
    • migrations are formated with ruff
  • global pydantic model with
    • explicit timezone setting during JSON export
  • some configs for production
    • gunicorn with dynamic workers configuration (stolen from @tiangolo)
    • Dockerfile optimized for small size and fast builds with a non-root user
    • JSON logs
    • sentry for deployed envs
  • and some other extras like global exceptions, sqlalchemy keys naming convention, shortcut scripts for alembic, etc.

Local Development

MacOS:

brew install just

just run --log-config logging.ini

Linters

Migrations

  • Create an automatic migration from changes in src/database.py
just mm *migration_name*
  • Run migrations
just migrate
  • Downgrade migrations
just downgrade downgrade -1  # or -2 or base or hash of the migration

Deployment

Deployment is done with Docker and Gunicorn. The Dockerfile is optimized for small size and fast builds with a non-root user. The gunicorn configuration is set to use the number of workers based on the number of CPU cores.

Example of running the app with docker compose:

docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d --build
