FastAPI Integration
Built for FastAPI, but completely optional. Use it as a lightweight core for any Python application.
FastAPI Startkit is a batteries-included boilerplate for building production FastAPI applications. Modular components designed to scale with your requirements.
# bootstrap/application.py
from pathlib import Path
from fastapi_startkit import Application
from fastapi_startkit.logging import LoggerProvider
# A lightweight background worker with zero web overhead,
# No FastAPI, no database ORMs, no frontend assets—just pure, lean Python.
# Automatically loads .env files and exposes a structured CLI engine.
app: Application = Application(
base_path=Path(__file__).parent.parent,
providers=[
# Configures uniform logs across terminal, files, syslog, or Slack

Modular architectural blocks designed for seamless integration into complex high-load environments.
Fully async stack built on FastAPI, Starlette, Pydantic, and Masonite ORM — a fully async execution path for Python web applications.
Powerful artisan commands for scaffolding models, running migrations, seeding databases, and managing your application — all from the terminal.
Build AI-native services and MCP servers on the async core. Built on top of LangChain — wire LLM providers, expose tools over the Model Context Protocol, and stream responses through the same container and provider pattern that powers the rest of your app.
The Startkit is a thin, provider-driven layer over FastAPI. Every request still runs on the same Starlette and uvicorn hot path as hand-written FastAPI — the framework adds its wiring at boot, not on the request path.
Every number here comes from the public web-frameworks harness — a reproducible benchmark you can run yourself against a raw FastAPI baseline.
The baseline is raw FastAPI itself — an overhead delta, not an apples-to-oranges comparison against an unrelated stack.
Relative to raw FastAPI · uvicorn · oha · concurrency 64
The GET routes run within a few percent of raw FastAPI. The wider POST /user gap is FastAPI 0.139's include_router resolution — reproducible in plain FastAPI, not framework per-request code.

"FastAPI Startkit gave us the foundation to move from idea to production in record time. The architecture decisions it enforces have kept our codebase clean as the team scaled."
"The developer experience is unmatched. Structured providers, clean routing, and a first-class ORM — everything fits together exactly how you'd expect it to."
"Integrating async ML pipelines and LLM endpoints into FastAPI Startkit was seamless. The fully async core handles concurrent inference workloads without breaking a sweat."
