FastAPI — typed APIs behind the PWAs

FastAPI is the Python API behind the operational PWAs Datro builds and hosts, including Mountain Ridge Wines.

Python API FastAPI
October 12, 2026

FastAPI is the API behind the operational PWAs we host. SvelteKit talks to it. PostgreSQL is the system of record.

Where it shows up

  • Mountain Ridge Wines: pooling, vintage, harvest, budgeting, and invoicing rules live in a typed API, not in a spreadsheet formula.
  • Validation at the boundary: the payload the screen sends is checked before it touches the database.
  • One service: the API is hosted on the same managed server as the front end.

Why FastAPI

  • Python type hints keep the operational rules readable when the season or the close changes
  • The API stays separate from the SvelteKit UI, so either side can change
  • It runs under Docker on the AlmaLinux VPS we already manage

On a PWA, FastAPI is the back end we run. See SvelteKit and PostgreSQL.
