SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates the rapid creation of production-ready FastAPI backends by providing a disciplined project template, enabling teams to standardize backend architecture from the start.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated scaffolding of FastAPI projects following clean architecture: separation of concerns across endpoints, services, models, and schemas.
  • Kubernetes-ready project skeleton with health endpoints, Docker, and migration setup to streamline deployment.
  • A standardized template driven by assets/template to scaffold new resources and APIs, boosting consistency and velocity across projects.
  • Useful for teams shipping APIs quickly with consistent structure and best practices.

Quick Start

Copy the template from assets/template/ to create a new project:

  • cp -r assets/template/ ./my-project
  • cd my-project
  • pip install -e ".[dev]"
  • uvicorn app.main:app --reload

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a FastAPI backend project with clean architecture?

Scaffold a FastAPI backend by copying the template from assets/template/, then install dependencies with pip install -e ".[dev]" and run uvicorn app.main:app --reload. The template provides separated layers for endpoints, services, models, and schemas following clean architecture principles.

Can I use FastAPI with Kubernetes and Docker for production deployment?

Yes. This scaffolding generates Kubernetes-ready project structures with Docker configuration and health endpoints built in, enabling streamlined deployment to Kubernetes clusters without additional setup.

What's the best way to standardize FastAPI project structure across teams?

Use a disciplined project template that enforces consistent separation of concerns across endpoints, services, models, and schemas. This standardized structure boosts velocity and reduces architectural drift across multiple projects.

Do I need Alembic and SQLModel for database management in FastAPI?

The template includes Alembic for migrations and SQLModel for ORM functionality. Both are integrated into the scaffolded project structure to handle schema versioning and data layer consistency automatically.

How do I set up RESTful APIs with proper separation of concerns?

The generated template structures APIs across distinct layers: endpoints handle HTTP routing, services contain business logic, models define database schemas, and schemas manage request/response validation using Pydantic.
