How I start every new Python backend API project

1. LocalStack

   1 164 58,119 9.9 Python

   💻 A fully functional local AWS cloud stack. Develop and test your cloud & Serverless apps offline

   

   If my project uses docker, I put all docker-related files here. For example: init scripts for localstack.

2. CodeRabbit

3. modular-monolith-with-ddd

   2 18 11,724 7.0 C#

   Full Modular Monolith application with Domain-Driven Design approach.

   

   You can see there is a module called building_blocks. Inside it, I keep all the utilities needed in the project, like a logger, serializers, and so on. I did not make up this name, I borrowed it from this repo.

4. Newman

   3 336 6,980 7.3 JavaScript

   Newman is a command-line collection runner for Postman

   

   If you have not heard about this tool, I recommend you check it out. Having this, you do not have to have any additional API clients like postman or insomnia.

5. black

   The uncompromising Python code formatter
