A RealWorld (Conduit) medium.com clone backend implemented with FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, and PostgreSQL. It serves as a reference example application demonstrating FastAPI best practices and passes the official Conduit test suite.

Use cases

• learn how to build a REST API with FastAPI
• example FastAPI project with PostgreSQL and SQLAlchemy
• reference implementation of the RealWorld Conduit backend
• see how to structure a FastAPI application with auth and JWT
• study async Python web API with docker-compose setup
• FastAPI starter template for a medium clone

When to choose

• you want a complete, test-suite-passing FastAPI example to learn from
• you need a reference for FastAPI project structure, auth, and database setup
• you're following the RealWorld spec and want a Python/FastAPI backend

When to avoid

• you need a production backend that is actively maintained
• you want the latest FastAPI features or current dependency versions
• you need a frontend or full-stack starter rather than a backend example
