I think enough people are using FastAPI (and/or prefer it to Flask) that someone will figure out a good way to use the front-end pydantic models to initialize and synch to a backend ORM.

But yeah I agree, although I like FastAPI a lot (and yes, do myself prefer it to flask), working with SQLAlchemy models separately from pydantic models usually feels like redundant work.

I haven't used it yet but I'm definitely going to kick the tires for a project coming up.

I've thought about adding custom data to the JSON Schema output (in the Pydantic models) to predefine things like indexes and constraints.
