A highly configurable FastAPI project generator with CLI/TUI support, offering database, ORM, API type, and integration choices.
FastAPI-template is a Python-based project generator that creates customizable, production-ready FastAPI application backends. It solves the problem of repetitive setup by providing a configurable scaffold with modern integrations, databases, and tooling out of the box.
Backend developers and teams building FastAPI-based services who want to accelerate initial project setup with standardized, maintainable foundations.
It stands out for its extreme configurability—supporting multiple databases, ORMs, API types, and integrations—while generating well-documented, tested code with minimal boilerplate.
Feature rich robust FastAPI template.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Allows tailored setups by choosing between REST/GraphQL APIs, multiple databases (SQLite to MongoDB), and ORMs like SQLAlchemy or TortoiseORM, as shown in the CLI options list.
Includes optional support for monitoring (Prometheus, Sentry), messaging (Redis, RabbitMQ, Kafka), and task queues via Taskiq, reducing manual setup for scalable applications.
Generates demo routers, models, and tests with ~90% coverage, providing a clear project structure and ensuring reliability from the start.
Comes pre-configured with Docker/Compose, gunicorn/uvicorn servers, migrations, and pre-commit hooks, accelerating deployment and development workflows.
Requires Git, Python, and UV installation upfront, and the CLI/TUI with numerous options can be overwhelming for users unfamiliar with such tools.
Admits that some libraries lack full Pydantic V2 support, and the template's fixed set of ORMs/integrations may not cover niche or emerging technologies.
The generated code includes many optional features by default, which can add unnecessary complexity and dependencies for basic API endpoints.
