Hero

FastAPI is a popular package nowadays, and I have decided to share my setup for an async web-server using this framework. The Hero app repository is an example of ultimate setup for async web-service.

Dependencies

Here is a short description of python packages used in the article (just to make a whole picture to save your time):

2. FastAPI - is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.6+ based on standard Python type hints;
3. Pydantic - Data validation and settings management using Python type hinting;
4. SQLAlchemy - SQLAlchemy is the Python SQL toolkit and Object Relational Mapper that gives application developers the full power and flexibility of SQL;
5. SQLModel - SQLModel is a library for interacting with SQL databases from Python code, with Python objects;
