Python FastAPI Template

A template for a Python FastAPI service:

• Poetry for dependency management
• FastAPI for building the API
• Devcontainer for development environment
• Docker for containerization
• Black & isort for code formatting
• pre-commit for code quality checks
• Github Actions for CI/CD
• pytest for testing
• Kamal for deployment (TODO: add Kamal deploy action)

Build and run locally

Using python3.12 install poetry:

pip install poetry

Then install dependencies

poetry install

Run locally

poetry run uvicorn app.main:app --port 8000 --reload

Run tests

poetry run pytest

Build and run using Docker

docker build -t app .
docker run -p 8000:8000 -it app

Notes

• If you face an issue with git ssh access while pushing new changes, run ssh-add $HOME/.ssh/<your ssh key> in terminal outside the devcontainer.

• If you face an issue during devcontainer build, make sure the repo is marked as trusted in VSCode. Check Source Control tab in the sidebar to mark the repo safe, then rebuild the devcontainer.
