What My Project Does

I built an extensible AGPL-3.0 Python server framework on FastAPI and SQLAlchemy after getting sick of writing the same thing 4+ times in different ways. It takes your Pydantic models and automatically generates:

• The ORM models with relationships
• The migrations
• FastAPI REST endpoints (CRUD - including batch, with relationship navigation and field specifiers)
• GraphQL schema via Strawberry (including nested relationships)
• MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration
• SDK for other projects
• Pytest tests for all of the above
• Coming Soon: External API federation from third-party APIs directly into your models (including into the GQL schema) - early preview screenshot

Target Audience

Anyone who's also tired of writing the same thing 4 different ways and wants to ship ASAP.

Comparison

Most tools solve one piece of this problem:

• SQLModel generates SQLAlchemy models from Pydantic but doesn't handle REST/GraphQL/tests
• Strawberry/Graphene Extensions generate GraphQL schemas but require separate REST endpoints and ORM definitions
• FastAPI-utils/FastAPI-CRUD generate REST endpoints but require manual GraphQL and testing setup
• Hasura/PostGraphile auto-generate GraphQL from databases but aren't Python-native and don't integrate with your existing Pydantic models

This framework generates all of it - ORM, REST, GraphQL, SDK, and tests - from a single Pydantic definition. The API federation feature also lets you integrate external APIs (Stripe, etc.) directly into your generated GraphQL schema, which most alternatives can't do.

I also built a NextJS companion front end that's designed to be similarly extensible.
