fastapi-backend-template

This template generates a production-grade FastAPI backend with PostgreSQL and async SQLAlchemy 2.0 pre-configured. It includes database connection setup, ORM models, and async query patterns ready to extend with your business logic.

Yes. This template includes Alembic migrations fully integrated with SQLAlchemy 2.0, enabling version-controlled schema changes across development, staging, and production environments without manual SQL.

The template provides Docker configuration for FastAPI with PostgreSQL, handling multi-stage builds, environment variables, and networking. Deploy immediately to development or production with uvicorn running inside the container.

This template scaffolds a complete REST API foundation with FastAPI, async database access via SQLAlchemy, migrations via Alembic, and Docker deployment—eliminating boilerplate setup for Python 3.11+ microservices.

FastAPI pairs directly with async SQLAlchemy 2.0 for non-blocking database I/O to PostgreSQL. This template demonstrates the integration pattern, connection pooling, and query execution optimized for concurrent request handling.

Alembic migrations track schema changes as versioned scripts that apply consistently to PostgreSQL across dev, staging, and production. The template automates migration setup so you version control schema evolution.
