How I start every new Python backend API project

• LocalStack

  154 52,145 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.

• modular-monolith-with-ddd

  18 10,270 7.4 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.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• Newman

  241 6,718 7.5 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.

• black

  322 37,376 9.4 Python

  The uncompromising Python code formatter

Poetry in my opinion is the best Python packaging and dependency management tool.
