## FastAPI Best Practices
This project follows best practices from [github.com/zhanymkanov/fastapi-best-practices](https://github.com/zhanymkanov/fastapi-best-practices)
### Project Structure
**Domain-Based Organization**: Code is organized by domain/feature rather than by file type:
```
src/
├── chat/ # Chat completions domain
│ ├── router.py # FastAPI routes
│ ├── schemas.py # Pydantic request/response models
│ ├── service.py # Business logic
│ ├── dependencies.py # Domain-specific dependencies
│ ├── constants.py # Domain constants
│ └── __init__.py
├── models/ # Models listing domain
│ ├── router.py
│ ├── schemas.py
│ ├── service.py
│ └── __init__.py
├── core/ # Shared utilities
│ ├── config.py # Global configuration
│ ├── models.py # Custom base Pydantic models
│ ├── exceptions.py # Global exceptions
│ ├── dependencies.py # Shared dependencies
│ └── router.py # Core routes (health, root)
├── ollama/ # Ollama client layer
│ ├── client.py # Async Ollama HTTP client
│ ├── schemas.py # Ollama API models
│ └── __init__.py
└── main.py # Application factory & configuration
```
**Key Principles**:
- Each domain has its own router, schemas, models, service, etc.
- Cross-domain imports use explicit naming: `from src.auth import constants as auth_constants`
- Main.py focuses on configuration, middleware, and exception handlers
- Business logic stays in service modules
- Routes delegate to services for all business logic
### Async/Await Best Practices
**Critical Understanding**: FastAPI handles sync and async routes differently:
- **Async routes** (`async def`): Called directly in event loop
- Use ONLY for non-blocking operations
- Perfect for `await httpx.get()`, database queries, file I/O
- **NEVER** use blocking calls like `time.sleep()` - this blocks entire server
- **Sync routes** (`def`): Run in thread pool
- Use for CPU-intensive work or blocking SDKs
- Blocking I/O won't freeze the event loop
- Example: `time.sleep(10)` is safe here
**Example**:
```python
@router.get("/terrible")
async def terrible():
time.sleep(10) # ❌ BLOCKS ENTIRE SERVER
@router.get("/good")
def good():
time.sleep(10) # ✅ Runs in thread pool
@router.get("/perfect")
async def perfect():
await asyncio.sleep(10) # ✅ Non-blocking async
```
**For CPU-intensive tasks**: Use separate worker processes (not threads) due to Python's GIL.
### Pydantic Configuration
**Custom Base Model**: All schemas inherit from `CustomBaseModel` for consistent behavior:
```python
# src/core/models.py
class CustomBaseModel(BaseModel):
model_config = ConfigDict(
json_encoders={datetime: datetime_to_iso_str},
populate_by_name=True,
use_enum_values=True,
validate_assignment=True,
)
def serializable_dict(self, **kwargs):
"""Return dict with only JSON-serializable fields."""
return jsonable_encoder(self.model_dump(**kwargs))
```
**Benefits**:
- Consistent datetime serialization across all responses
- Alias support for field name flexibility
- Easy JSON encoding for logging/debugging
**Decoupled Settings**: Split configuration by domain instead of one monolithic file:
```python
# src/core/config.py - Global settings
class Config(BaseSettings):
DATABASE_URL: PostgresDsn
ENVIRONMENT: Environment
# src/chat/config.py - Chat-specific settings
class ChatConfig(BaseSettings):
MAX_TOKENS: int
DEFAULT_TEMPERATURE: float
```
### Dependency Injection Patterns
**Validation with Dependencies**: Use dependencies for complex validations:
```python
async def valid_post_id(post_id: UUID4) -> dict:
"""Validate post exists in database."""
post = await service.get_by_id(post_id)
if not post:
raise PostNotFound()
return post
@router.get("/posts/{post_id}")
async def get_post(post: dict = Depends(valid_post_id)):
return post # Already validated!
```
**Chaining Dependencies**: Build reusable validation layers:
```python
async def valid_owned_post(
post: dict = Depends(valid_post_id),
token_data: dict = Depends(parse_jwt_data),
) -> dict:
if post["creator_id"] != token_data["user_id"]:
raise UserNotOwner()
return post
```
**Dependency Caching**: Dependencies are cached within request scope - FastAPI only executes each dependency once per request, even if used multiple times.
### Application Factory Pattern
Main.py uses factory pattern for testability and configuration:
```python
def create_application() -> FastAPI:
"""Create and configure FastAPI app."""
app = FastAPI(title=config.APP_NAME)
# Add middleware
app.add_middleware(CORSMiddleware, ...)
# Register exception handlers
register_exception_handlers(app)
# Include routers
app.include_router(chat_router, prefix="/v1")
return app
app = create_application()
```
## Development Guidelines
### Code Structure
- Use async/await for ALL I/O operations (database, HTTP, file access)
- Use sync (def) for blocking SDKs or CPU-intensive work
- Implement proper error handling and logging
- Follow dependency injection for validation and shared resources
- Use Pydantic models for ALL request/response validation
- Keep business logic in service modules, not routers
### Security Considerations
- Validate all inputs using Pydantic models
- Implement rate limiting for API endpoints
- Use environment variables for sensitive configuration
- Keep dependencies updated (check for CVEs regularly)
### Testing
- Write integration tests for API endpoints
- Test streaming functionality thoroughly
- Mock Ollama responses for unit tests
- Validate OpenAI API compatibility
### Configuration
- Use `.env` files for local development
- Document all environment variables in README
- Provide sensible defaults where possible
- Support container-based configuration
## Common Patterns
### Streaming Response Pattern
```python
from sse_starlette.sse import EventSourceResponse
from fastapi import FastAPI
async def event_generator():
# Stream events from Ollama/PydanticAI
yield {"data": "chunk1"}
yield {"data": "chunk2"}
@app.get("/stream")
async def stream():
return EventSourceResponse(event_generator())
```
### PydanticAI Agent Pattern
```python
from pydantic_ai import Agent
agent = Agent(
'ollama:llama2', # Or other Ollama model
# Configuration here
)
# Use the agent
result = await agent.run('Your prompt')
```
### OpenAI-Compatible Response Format
```python
{
"id": "chatcmpl-123",
"object": "chat.completion.chunk",
"created": 1234567890,
"model": "model-name",
"choices": [{
"index": 0,
"delta": {"content": "response"},
"finish_reason": None
}]
}
```

## Security
### Version Locking Strategy
This project uses minor version locking (`>=X.Y,<X.(Y+1)`) to protect against supply chain attacks while allowing patch updates. All dependencies have been:
- Checked for known CVEs (as of 2025-12-05)
- Pinned to secure minor versions
- Documented with version rationale in `requirements.txt`
### CVE Status (2025-12-05)
- **FastAPI 0.123.9**: No known vulnerabilities
- **Uvicorn 0.38.0**: No known vulnerabilities
- **PydanticAI 1.27.0**: No known vulnerabilities
- **HTTPX 0.28.1**: No known vulnerabilities
- **SSE-Starlette 3.0.2**: No known vulnerabilities
Regular security updates are recommended. Check for new versions monthly.
### Security Best Practices
1. Never commit `.env` files
2. Use environment variables for sensitive configuration
3. Keep dependencies updated
4. Implement rate limiting in production
5. Use HTTPS in production environments
6. Validate all inputs with Pydantic models
## Development
### Project Structure
Following [FastAPI best practices](https://github.com/zhanymkanov/fastapi-best-practices) with domain-based organization:

```
**Key Architectural Decisions**:
- **Domain-based** structure (not file-type based)
- **Separation of concerns**: Routers → Services → Clients
- **Factory pattern** in main.py for testability
- **Custom base models** for consistent serialization
- **Async-first** for all I/O operations
### Code Style
Following FastAPI best practices:
- **Async routes** for ALL I/O operations (HTTP, database, file access)
- **Sync routes** only for CPU-intensive work or blocking SDKs
- **Type hints** on all functions and class attributes
- **Pydantic models** for ALL request/response validation
- **Dependency injection** for validation and shared resources
- **Business logic** in service modules, NOT in routers
- Follow PEP 8 style guidelines
- Document complex logic with docstrings
### Current Implementation Status
The API is currently set up with **mock responses** for development:
**✅ Implemented**:
- OpenAI-compatible API structure
- `/v1/chat/completions` endpoint (returns lorem ipsum)
- `/v1/models` endpoint (returns mistral-nemo:latest)
- `/health` and `/` endpoints
- Streaming support with SSE
- Exception handling
- Configuration management
- Async Ollama client (ready, not connected)
**🚧 TODO** (future integration):
- Connect chat completions to Ollama/PydanticAI
- Implement actual model listing from Ollama
- Add authentication/API keys
- Rate limiting
- Usage tracking
- More OpenAI-compatible endpoints
