A boilerplate RESTFul application code using FastAPI and PostgreSQL

The backend is a RESTful API application built in FastAPI and a PostgreSQL database.

To run the application you need to have Docker and docker-compose installed. So, just execute from the root directory:

docker-compose up

So, run the first migration:

docker-compose exec app alembic upgrade head

To run the tests:

docker-compose exec app pytest

To re-run the tests, firstly, we recreate the database because there are unit tests which create resources, so if it already exists the test will fail:

Remove the data files before recreate the container

rm -fr db_data/*

Recreate the db service:

docker-compose stop db
docker-compose rm db
docker-compose up -d db

Finally, re-run the migration and the tests:

docker-compose exec app alembic upgrade head
docker-compose exec app pytest
