FastAPI Development Toolkit
A collection of specialized tools to streamline API development, monitoring, and optimization using FastAPI:
API Performance Monitoring Tool
Tracks real-time metrics (response time, latency) and provides dashboards/alerts for performance issues, akin to Apitally’s analytics and AppSignal’s anomaly detection.
Async API Wrapper Generator
Generates FastAPI-based async code for external API interactions, emphasizing non-blocking operations and error handling.
Validation & Error Handling Library
Offers Pydantic-based utilities for input validation, guard clauses, and structured error logging, aligning with FastAPI’s best practices.
Database Interaction Utility
Optimizes async SQLAlchemy 2.0 workflows with lazy loading and query performance enhancements.
FastAPI Middleware Suite
Pre-built middleware for logging, security, and performance optimization, inspired by OpenTelemetry’s instrumentation.
Scalable API Bootstrapping Service
Generates modular, production-ready FastAPI boilerplate code with dependency injection patterns.
Pydantic Schema Generator
GUI tool to create Pydantic models from JSON/YAML files, streamlining schema consistency.
Cache Management Plugin
Integrates Redis for caching strategies to optimize high-traffic endpoints.
Async Workflow Orchestrator
Manages complex async tasks in FastAPI routes, improving non-blocking I/O efficiency.
FastAPI Route Optimizer
IDE plugin for optimizing route definitions and async patterns, enhancing code readability and performance.
Overview of .cursorrules prompt
