Categories
Find your stack
Browse by category when you already know the shape of the project.
Backend Applications
API and service starters for FastAPI and similar Python backends.
Use when the deliverable is an HTTP API or background worker — FastAPI for async APIs with OpenAPI docs.
CI
Continuous integration and repository automation.
GitHub Actions, Dependabot, and related repository workflows.
Containers
Docker and Compose packaging for the app.
Add when you want container images and compose stacks for the API.
Database
Database services and connection scaffolding.
Pair with the app when you need Postgres (or similar) locally/in compose.
Editor
Editor and remote development ergonomics.
Dev Containers and related IDE integrations.
CLI Applications
Command-line tools and console scripts.
Use for Typer/Click CLIs and internal utilities shipped as entry points.
Observability
Error tracking, metrics, and tracing integrations.
Add when you need production diagnostics such as Sentry.
Security
Authentication and authorization scaffolds.
JWT/session auth skeletons and related security helpers.
Monorepo
Multi-package workspaces with shared tooling and one lockfile.
Use when you need multiple libraries and apps in one repo — uv workspaces link members locally with a single virtual environment.
AI/ML Applications
FastAPI AI and ML capability extensions.
Add when you need LLM-backed chat, retrieval, or agent endpoints on a FastAPI starter.
MLOps
MLOps framework starters and training/serving pipelines.
CPU-first sklearn/pytorch/tensorflow topologies with MLflow-friendly defaults.
How it works
Compose, then generate
Select a template, add extensions, and generate your project with a single command — interactive or headless for CI.
Create your project
Use the CLI to generate your app
$ uvx create-awesome-python-app my-app \
--template fastapi-starter \
--addons fastapi-docker github-setup
Generates a FastAPI app with uv tooling, Docker packaging, and GitHub Actions setup.
