scaffolding-fastapi-dapr

Scaffolding FastAPI with JWT authentication generates a production-ready project structure with JWT/JWKS verification patterns, SQLModel ORM models, async database access, and secured CRUD endpoints. This Skill automates the setup, eliminating manual boilerplate for API authentication and database integration.

Yes. This Skill integrates Dapr sidecar support into FastAPI projects, enabling pub/sub messaging, state management, and scheduled job execution in cloud-native environments. Dapr abstracts infrastructure concerns, letting you build event-driven services without vendor lock-in.

The scaffold includes SQLModel for type-safe database models, async CRUD endpoints, JWT/JWKS authentication middleware, OpenAPI documentation, and Dapr integration for pub/sub and state operations. All components follow production patterns and are immediately deployable.

PostgreSQL setup is independent; the scaffold generates connection patterns and async database access compatible with Neon PostgreSQL. You provision the database separately and provide credentials; the Skill configures the FastAPI layer to connect and execute queries.

JWKS verification validates JWT tokens by fetching public keys from a JWKS endpoint, then verifies token signatures before allowing requests to reach CRUD endpoints. This Skill embeds verification middleware, protecting routes without manual token parsing logic.

Yes. Dapr job scheduling integration enables background task execution in the scaffold. Combined with FastAPI's async capabilities and Dapr state management, you can build REST APIs with scheduled jobs running in a cloud-native topology.
