🪶 Featherweight Template

A lightweight FastAPI starter that packs a punch, with some batteries included.

Get more done with less by relying on powerful open-source tools to do the heavy lifting.

• FastAPI generates and handles REST endpoints compliant with HTTP spec
• Automatic API doc generation with OpenAPI
• Request & Response validation powered by Pydantic
• Great type support with the native Python type hint system
• Lightning fast caching with Redis
• Built-in and configurable rate limiting to prevent API abuse

Rather than starting with a template that requires you to rip all sorts of things out, this template starts with a minimal amount of code in a flat directory to let you kick the tires and expand from there.
