FastAPI Tutorial for Beginners: Project Structure & Routing (2026)

Description

Welcome to Episode 1 of the FastAPI + SQLModel Masterclass! In this series, we are building a complete, production-ready AI PDF Chatbot backend from scratch. Most FastAPI tutorials show you how to build a toy app in a single file. In this series, we are doing it the right way. Today, we are setting up our environment with uv, building our first endpoints, and then I’m going to show you how to create a basic crud API with an in-memory storage. 🔔 Subscribe so you don't miss Episode 2 where we connect our SQLite database using SQLModel! 👇 Resources & Links GitHub Repository (Complete project): https://github.com/sheyzi/fastapi-and-sqlmodel-youtube-series-2026 Connect with me on X/Twitter: https://x.com/sheyzi
