When building a FastAPI project with PostgreSQL, you need a reliable way to manage your database schema over time. As your application evolves, simple table creation is not enough. You need a way to safely apply, track, and roll back changes.

Alembic provides a structured, version-controlled approach to database migrations. In this guide, weโ€™ll walk through how to set up Alembic with FastAPI, SQLModel, and PostgreSQL, including common issues youโ€™ll run into when working with Docker.

Leveraging Docker to Quickly Setup an Object Detection API

Adam Costenbader API Development, Articles, Cloud, Development Technologies & Tools, Docker, Tutorial 1 Comment

In this blog, we utilize the strengths of Docker containers to quickly spin up two separate containers that we can utilize for our software development needs – one running the DeepStack API software and the other running a utility to help us get started with the DeepStack API.

The best part is that once we are comfortable with our setup, we could quickly and easily stop and remove the DeepStackUI utility container to free up resources all while continuing to run the DeepStack API software without interruption.

In this post, we will set up continuous deployment using Azureโ€™s Deployment Center. Continuous Deployment is used to shorten the release cycle and quickly get code pushed to its target environment. This is especially useful when code is completed in small increments. Automated testing should be used as part of this process to produce stable code. This blog will focus on the continuous deployment.

Joe Sciara Architecture, Articles, Azure, Cloud, Development Technologies & Tools, Docker, Tutorial Leave a Comment

So you want to host a web application on Azure with minimal overhead, but how is this done? Azure makes it possible by running an App Service using Docker containers. Setting up an App Service is simple and can be accomplished with a few steps.

In this blog, Iโ€™ll explain the steps necessary to generate a Docker image in Azure. Then, we will deploy a web application based on an image we generate. We host the application with the following steps:
1. Create a Container Registry
2. Build a Docker image
3. Create a Web App
