Who is it for?
Fastpy is perfect for developers who:
| Profile | Need |
|---|---|
| Backend Developers | Skip boilerplate and focus on business logic |
| Startup Teams | Need a production-ready foundation fast |
| Solo Developers | Want convention over configuration |
| API Architects | Value clean, maintainable code architecture |
Core Principles
Convention Over Configuration
Sensible defaults that work out of the box. Override only what you need.
Developer Experience First
Type hints everywhere, excellent IDE support, comprehensive docs, and helpful error messages.
Production Ready
Not just a demo project. Includes everything you need for real-world APIs: auth, rate limiting, logging, testing, and deployment configs.
Quick Example
Create a complete API resource in seconds:
fastpy make:resource Post \
-f title:string:required,max:200 \
-f body:text:required \
-f author_id:integer:foreign:users.id \
-m -pThis single command generates:
| Generated | Description |
|---|---|
| Model | SQLModel with fields and validation |
| Controller | Full CRUD operations |
| Routes | Protected API endpoints |
| Migration | Database schema changes |
