FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a FastAPI backend with PostgreSQL and async SQLAlchemy?▼

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.

Can I use Alembic for database migrations with FastAPI and PostgreSQL?▼

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.

How do I containerize a FastAPI application with Docker?▼

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.

What's required to bootstrap a microservice backend quickly?▼

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.

Does FastAPI work well with PostgreSQL for async operations?▼

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.

How do I manage database schema changes across environments?▼

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.
