full-stack-fastapi-postgresql VS fastapi-starter

I've just recently switched to a structure that follows Netflix's Dispatch application after starting with https://github.com/tiangolo/full-stack-fastapi-postgresql and it feels way better and organized.

I would encourage you to take a look at this repo: https://github.com/tiangolo/full-stack-fastapi-postgresql This is a boilerplate of an application made with fastapi, prepared by the creator of the fastapi himself. You can even set it up yourself locally and have a look how it’s organised. I know it has a lot of different services included, but I find the fastapi part itself to be well thought. Inside the api directory you can notice another folder named api_v1, so you can have multiple versions of your API routes when needed, with the general code in other places that is more generic and can be reused in all your different API versions. The schemas are separated from the models and models itself have different classes depending on what you would actually like to do with the data. The migrations are managed with alembic based on schemas rather than models itself. The settings are a python class that implicitly reads the .env file in your project’s directory. And many, many other interesting patterns to explore. Too much to write in one comment to be honest.

Have a look at Full Stack FastAPI and PostgreSQL - Base Project Generator

While that is a good base, it can be a bit outdated in places. I would suggest checking out this issue on the topic

Hi, earlier this year I built a project using the official FastAPI full stack example. While working on my project, I realised that the FastAPI ecosystem has matured a lot since that template was created and many things that I ended up writing code for was already solved by others. And I didn't want to keep reinventing the wheel.

I'm glad you're liking FastAPI!

You could check the official project generator, it includes a simple Vue.js front end: https://github.com/tiangolo/full-stack-fastapi-postgresql

Although I'm currently using React with TypeScript and hooks, and it's a great development experience. I plan on adding it to the project generator later.

For my new projects, I wanted a boilerplate which utilised the ecosystem as much as possible. So how's the new template better than the official template?
