Github repo link: https://github.com/Tenacity-Dev/fasta...
In this video I'll show you the FastAPI starter template I created that uses SQLAlchemy 2, Alembic and PostgreSQL database. Updated for 2025.
This starter template includes many tools that are essential that are used for building stable production ready and scalable web applications. These four tools are the backbone of all projects and must be kept up to date in order to provide high quality software products.
It includes:
FastAPI
SQLAlchemy 2
Alembic
PostreSQL
Type Safe Environment Variables
Feature Based Project Structure like Django's
FastAPI: A modern, fast (high-performance) web framework for building APIs with Python 3.7+ based on standard Python type hints.
SQLAlchemy: A SQL toolkit and Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) library for Python, providing a full suite of well-known enterprise-level persistence patterns.
Alembic: A lightweight database migration tool for SQLAlchemy that manages database schema changes in a version-controlled manner.
PostgreSQL: A powerful, open-source relational database management system known for its robustness, extensibility, and standards compliance.
