SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the inconsistency and architectural drift in Python backend projects by providing a standardized, production-ready blueprint for FastAPI services.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architectural Blueprint: Enforces a domain-driven, layered structure separating routers, services, and data access.
  • Technical Standards: Provides strict guidelines for Pydantic v2 schemas, SQLAlchemy 2.0 async ORM, and modern Python 3.12+ type safety.
  • Use Case: Use this skill when scaffolding a new microservice or conducting a code review to ensure the implementation follows industry-standard patterns for dependency injection, error handling, and observability.

Quick Start

Apply the python-fastapi-patterns skill to review the current service architecture and suggest improvements for the existing SQLAlchemy models and router definitions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a FastAPI backend with SQLAlchemy and Pydantic for maintainability?

Structure a FastAPI backend using domain-driven layering that separates routers, services, and data access. This enforces strict type checking and async-first patterns to prevent architectural drift and improve onboarding.

What is the best way to standardize FastAPI microservice architecture across a team?

Standardize FastAPI microservices by enforcing production-ready blueprints with Pydantic v2 schemas, SQLAlchemy 2.0 async ORM, and modern Python 3.12+ type safety. This ensures consistent dependency injection and structured logging.

Can I use SQLAlchemy 2.0 async ORM with FastAPI and Pydantic v2?

Yes, SQLAlchemy 2.0 async ORM works with FastAPI and Pydantic v2. The skill provides strict technical guidelines for integrating these frameworks while maintaining modern Python 3.12+ type safety and async-first patterns.

How do I review an existing FastAPI service for architectural compliance?

Review an existing FastAPI service by checking router definitions and SQLAlchemy models against standardized patterns. Apply the skill to suggest improvements for dependency injection, robust error handling, and observability.

Does FastAPI require strict type checking and structured logging for production?

FastAPI production environments benefit from strict type checking and structured logging. Enforcing these conventions alongside robust error handling ensures service reliability and consistent observability across domain-driven layers.
