✅ FastAPI — lightning-fast backend framework
🐘 PostgreSQL — robust and reliable database
📦 Docker Compose — easy setup and environment management
🔐 Authentication — secure user handling
⚙️ Alembic — smooth database migrations
🧠 Async Support — fully asynchronous stack
📊 PGAdmin4 — visual database management
🧱 SQLModel — type-safe ORM integration

Start a local PostgreSQL instance with Docker:

docker run -d \
  --name fastapi_postgres \
  -e POSTGRES_USER=darix \
  -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=6775212952 \
  -e POSTGRES_DB=fastapi_postgres \
  -p 5432:5432 \
  postgres:latest

Before running the application, make sure that uv (the ultra-fast Python package and environment manager) is installed on your system 🧩

⚙️ Install uv (if not installed yet):

pip install uv

Once installed, you can easily run your FastAPI app with a single command 💨

uv run main.py

Follow these simple steps to get your app running in no time ⏱️

docker compose up -d --build

Initialize and apply your first migration using Alembic 🚀

docker compose exec app uv run alembic revision --autogenerate -m "first migration"
docker compose exec app uv run alembic upgrade head
