fastapi-production-template 0.1.3

Production-ready FastAPI template with CI/CD, Terraform, and complete tests

FastAPI Production Template

Production-ready FastAPI starter focused on clean architecture, strict quality gates, and cloud-ready infrastructure baselines.

Tech stack

• Python 3.14
• FastAPI + Pydantic v2
• SQLAlchemy async + asyncpg
• UV package management
• Ruff + Ty + Pytest
• Docker + Docker Compose
• Terraform (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• GitHub Actions CI

What is included

• App factory setup with versioned API routes (/api/v1)
• Typed request/response models and domain layer separation
• SQLAlchemy async ORM + repository-backed document workflows
• PoC-mode DB lifecycle wiring with dependency injection and startup schema creation
• API key auth (X-API-Key) for document endpoints
• Structured JSON logging + request ID middleware (X-Request-ID)
• Lightweight Prometheus-style metrics endpoint
• Quality checks wired for linting, typing, tests, and coverage gate
• Terraform starter modules for container registry setup:
  • AWS ECR
  • Azure Container Registry
  • GCP Artifact Registry

API endpoints

• GET /api/v1/health
• GET /api/v1/metrics
• POST /api/v1/documents/analyze
• POST /api/v1/documents
• GET /api/v1/documents
• GET /api/v1/documents/{document_id}
• PUT /api/v1/documents/{document_id}
• DELETE /api/v1/documents/{document_id}

/health and /metrics are public. All /documents* routes require X-API-Key.

Local development

uv sync --all-groups
uv run uvicorn fastapi_production_template.main:app --reload

Example authenticated request:

curl -H "X-API-Key: dev-api-key" http://localhost:8000/api/v1/documents

Tests and quality gates

uv run pytest
uv run ruff check .
uv run ty check .
uv run tox

Pre-commit hooks (Ruff, unit tests, Terraform fmt check):

uv run pre-commit install
uv run pre-commit run --all-files

Docker

Standard compose setup:

docker compose up --build

Dev profile with file watching (src, tests, pyproject.toml):

docker compose --profile dev up --build --watch api-dev postgres

Terraform validation

terraform -chdir=infra/terraform-aws init
terraform -chdir=infra/terraform-aws validate
terraform -chdir=infra/terraform-azure init
terraform -chdir=infra/terraform-azure validate
terraform -chdir=infra/terraform-gcp init
terraform -chdir=infra/terraform-gcp validate
