spectree VS databases

For those of you that are fans of Pydantic: https://github.com/0b01001001/spectree (this is cross-platform with flask, falcon, and starlette :) It also doesn't re-implement anything the encode/starlette developers have already implemented, or have in the works for no specific reason. I'm not a huge fan of this design pattern, I'm more a lean/mean sort of fellow. openapi schema generation exists in starlette ... and you likely already are doing some sort of type validation once in your forms, json, orm, sql layer, or all four. An additional layer to validate "automatically" in your response (lol no), or in your request ... aren't all that useful imo.

In the code ,we are using SQLAlchemy as our ORM(Object Relational Mapper) and Databases as our query builder.

MySQL is a powerful and popular database, and it's well-suited for use with Python. In the following section, we are going through how to set up a connection to a MySQL database in an asynchronous manner using the create_asynchrouns_engine function from SQLAlchemy. We'll also use the databases package and the aiomysql extra dependency. We'll also adapt the SQLAlchemy declarative approach to defining our users' table.

No, as I said, async db connection is the key. You can do that with SQLAlchemy using the databases library, but since you are not using SQLAlchemy it makes more sense to use the underlying db driver, aiomysql, directly.

ormar is a mini async ORM for python. It uses sqlalchemy for building queries, databases for asynchronous execution of queries, and pydantic for data validation. You can create an ormar model and generate pydantic models from it.

databases has since the time of FastAPI's authorship been integrated in upstream starlette and documented: https://github.com/encode/databases ... what-ever is in fastapi skips all this and is weak sauce.

Prefer the data mapper approach for CRUD apps, but the flexibility of active record for all other apps. 1.Use psycopg2 for enterprise apps (since it's battle-tested) and https://github.com/encode/databases (with asyncpg) for toy apps.

Thoughts on aiosql vs encode/databases[0]? Same creator as starlette (under the hood of FastAPI)
