Shaapi

Production-ready FastAPI framework

Shaapi is the framework I wish I'd had on day one of every project. Instead of re-wiring auth, migrations, storage and deployment every time, a single command scaffolds a complete, containerized, security-first FastAPI architecture that is ready to scale. Shipped batteries-included (PostgreSQL, Redis, MinIO, JWT, RBAC, Docker), published and maintained on PyPI with public documentation and a "Build Your Own Shaapi" guide. I build tools for developers, not only applications.
