> Do you have any reason to narrow down the scope to FastAPI when other frameworks like Flask are still more widely used?

FastAPI is basically the (async) 2021 version of Flask just built on Starlette instead.

If you have used Flask before, the learning curve will be pretty low, and the documentation is great.

But of course people have been using SQLAlchemy and Flask together for ages so I don't see any reason you couldn't use this with Flask instead if you prefer. That said, I bet you'll be able to whip up the MVP even faster using FastAPI.

I do not have any affiliation with the project other than being a happy user today.
