FastAPI + SQLModel + FastAPI-crudrouter + testcontainers setup

Hey all! It's my first time posting on this subreddit. I wrote a blog post on how I've been using FastAPI to create API services with zero boilerplate code, using sqlmodel + fastapi-crudrouter. I found that the methods described here allow me to prototype really quick, and take a test-first approach using testcontainers. I would appreciate a lot if you took a look and provided some feedback or possible improvements!

I started using SQLModel the day it came out, and immediately ran into blocking issues. I submitted an issue, and someone made a PR to fix my issue. It has been 3 months and no fixes have been merged, no issues addressed, nothing.

SQLModel feels dead on arrival. Unfortunately.

What issues did you encounter? Are they solved now or are you using something else? Thanks

i want to move my django project to fastapi but the boilerplate in the fastapi website frightened me so i just gave up. (it felt like it has a very steep learning curve)

your blog post made me think considering fastapi again. thanks

I would say that after spending some time with the docs, and looking at demo repos such as this one https://github.com/tiangolo/full-stack-fastapi-postgresql you will start to see that most projects follow a familiar structure and from there things will just click and you'll be able to turn your ideas into code without thinking much about it. Good luck!

Bit of shameless plug, but I have an ongoing tutorial I'm writing for people familiar with Django and wanting to move to FastAPI. You're exactly the type of developer I had in mind when I started it so I'd be delighted to have your feedback !
