Question 1

How to deploy DogeAPI to AWS or Heroku?

Accepted Answer

DogeAPI can be deployed using its Docker container; build the image and push it to a container registry, then follow platform-specific guides for running containers. Ensure environment variables like DATABASE_URL are set in the cloud environment.

Question 2

DogeAPI vs Django REST Framework for a blog backend?

Accepted Answer

DogeAPI is lighter and faster with FastAPI's async support, ideal for high-performance needs, while Django REST Framework offers more built-in features like admin panels and batteries-included tools but with higher overhead. Choose based on speed versus convenience.

Question 3

How to add custom endpoints or API routes to DogeAPI?

Accepted Answer

Extend the main FastAPI app by creating new routes in the application code, following the existing pattern for CRUD operations. You'll need to update models and dependencies as needed, similar to the blog and user endpoints.

Question 4

Does DogeAPI work with NoSQL databases like MongoDB?

Accepted Answer

No, DogeAPI is built with SQLAlchemy for SQL databases only. To use NoSQL, you'd need to replace SQLAlchemy with an ORM like MongoEngine or rewrite data layers, which isn't supported out of the box.

Question 5

How to handle user roles and permissions beyond basic auth?

Accepted Answer

DogeAPI includes OAuth2 but no role-based access control; you must extend the authentication logic, such as adding claims to JWT tokens or creating middleware, to implement permissions for different user levels.

Question 6

Can I use DogeAPI with a React or Vue frontend?

Accepted Answer

Yes, DogeAPI is backend-only and can serve any frontend via REST APIs. Configure CORS in FastAPI to allow requests from your frontend domain, and use tokens for authenticated endpoints.
