flask-api-starter

A starter-kit for a RESTful API built with Flask.

Features

• Support for multiple endpoint versions (useful for long-lived APIs)
• Schema changes managed by Alembic and run automatically as part of unit tests
• Multiple configurations (testing, staging, production, etc...)
• Basic Postgres configuration with a schema, API user, and migrations user
• All DB migrations are run before every unit-test; ensures migrations are working
