## What it is
A Python library of reusable utilities for FastAPI that reduces boilerplate across projects. It provides class-based views, CRUD resource classes, periodic tasks, timing middleware, SQLAlchemy session management, and pydantic-based helpers.

## Use cases
- reduce boilerplate in fastapi projects
- create crud endpoints with class based views
- run periodic background tasks in fastapi
- manage sqlalchemy sessions in fastapi
- configure fastapi app settings via environment variables
- simplify openapi operation ids
- log request timing in fastapi

## When to choose
- you build multiple FastAPI apps and want shared utilities
- you want OOP-style CRUD and class-based dependency injection in FastAPI
- you need periodic tasks or timing middleware without extra dependencies

## When to avoid
- you don't use FastAPI
- you need only one small feature that's easy to implement yourself
- you need a heavily maintained, feature-rich alternative like fastapi-utils forks with newer pydantic v2 support

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: web-framework, middleware, orm, api-framework
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools
- platform: python
- tags: fastapi, pydantic, sqlalchemy, crud, class-based-views, boilerplate-reduction
