SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a comprehensive set of guidelines and patterns for developing Python backends using FastAPI, ensuring a structured, maintainable, and efficient codebase.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Layered Architecture: Enforces Router → Service → Repository pattern for clear separation of concerns.
  • Domain-Driven Design: Guides organization of code by domain for better scalability.
  • Async Operations: Promotes async/await best practices for high-performance I/O.
  • Use Case: When starting a new FastAPI microservice or refactoring an existing one, use this Skill to ensure adherence to best practices for API design, database interaction, and business logic implementation.

Quick Start

Use the fastapi-backend-guidelines skill to generate a new user domain with model, repository, service, DTO, and router files.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a FastAPI backend using Domain-Driven Design?

Structure a FastAPI backend using Domain-Driven Design by organizing code into a Router → Service → Repository layered architecture, separating API endpoints, business logic, and database interactions for scalable maintenance.

What is the best way to handle asynchronous database operations in FastAPI?

Handle asynchronous database operations in FastAPI by applying async/await best practices with the SQLModel ORM, ensuring high-performance I/O operations for scalable ML/AI servers.

How do I generate a new domain in FastAPI with models, DTOs, and routers?

Generate a new FastAPI domain by creating separate files for the model, repository, service, DTO, and router, enforcing a clear separation of concerns and structured codebase.

Can I use SQLModel and Pydantic validation for FastAPI API development?

Use SQLModel for ORM interactions and Pydantic for data validation in FastAPI API development to ensure robust, structured data processing and schema enforcement.

Does this FastAPI backend architecture suit ML/AI server maintenance?

This FastAPI backend architecture suits ML/AI server maintenance by providing a structured, maintainable codebase that emphasizes asynchronous programming and domain-driven organization for high-performance APIs.

When do I need a layered architecture for my Python backend?

You need a layered architecture for your Python backend when starting a new microservice or refactoring an existing one to ensure adherence to API design and database interaction best practices.
