## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: application
