scaffolding-fastapi-dapr

This Skill provides scaffolding for production-grade FastAPI backends with built-in Dapr pub/sub patterns, SQLModel async database models, and JWT authentication. It includes reference implementations and scripts to wire up event-driven microservices, CRUD endpoints, and secure API contracts with OpenAPI documentation.

SQLModel combines Pydantic and SQLAlchemy to define database and API models together with full async support. This Skill includes patterns for async database setup with Neon PostgreSQL, enabling efficient CRUD operations and OpenAPI schema generation from unified model definitions.

JWT/JWKS authentication protects FastAPI endpoints by validating tokens against a key set. This Skill provides authentication patterns for secure APIs, including token verification and protected endpoint setup, integrated into the scaffolding for immediate deployment.

Dapr pub/sub enables asynchronous communication between microservices through publish and subscribe patterns. This Skill includes subscribe/publish patterns for event-driven architectures, allowing FastAPI services to send and receive events without direct coupling.

Dapr provides pub/sub and service invocation patterns that integrate seamlessly with REST APIs for task scheduling and asynchronous event handling. This Skill scaffolds both mechanisms, enabling production-ready event-driven workflows alongside REST endpoints.

OpenAPI automatically generates interactive API documentation from your FastAPI models. This Skill includes audit logging patterns for operational visibility alongside OpenAPI contracts, providing both developer experience and production monitoring.
