MyPosts - FastAPI

This is a social-media application (CRUD application) build with FastAPI web framework.

Users will be able to,

• Register in the application
• Login
• Create posts
• Read posts
• Update their posts
• Delete their posts
• Vote on posts
• Unvote on posts

This is basically a back-end application. So it is a Dockerized REST API with a database deployed in Heroku and Ubuntu as well. (In theory, you could build a front-end on top of it with something like React or Angular.)

FastAPI in short is a lightweight, fast webframework for building APIs.
