What software architecture does this template follow?

It follows a clean, modular architecture that separates concerns into API routers, a Service layer for business logic, and a Repository layer for data access.

Can I use this for non-SQL databases?

While the default patterns focus on SQLAlchemy, the modular Service and Repository structures are designed to be easily adapted for MongoDB or other NoSQL databases.

Are security features included in the scaffolding?

Yes, the skill includes production-ready templates for JWT authentication, password hashing with passlib/bcrypt, and standard CORS middleware configuration.

Does this skill support asynchronous database operations?

Yes, it specifically provides implementation patterns for async SQLAlchemy engines and asynchronous database session management using FastAPI's dependency injection system.

API Development

Generates production-ready FastAPI project structures featuring asynchronous patterns, dependency injection, and modular architecture.

About

The FastAPI Project Scaffolding skill provides a robust blueprint for building professional-grade Python backends. It automates the creation of scalable API architectures by implementing the Repository and Service patterns, ensuring a clean separation of concerns between data access, business logic, and API routes. Designed for high-performance applications, it includes pre-configured async database handling with SQLAlchemy, secure JWT authentication, and structured Pydantic schemas, making it an essential tool for developers moving from simple scripts to enterprise-ready microservices.
