BACKEND // PYTHON & FASTAPI

Custom PythonBackends ThatActually Scale.

Async FastAPI + asyncpg + PostgreSQL. The same stack powering God Mode, Jumpstart Scaling, and every high-throughput system I have shipped.

Python Backend Capabilities

< REST & WEBSOCKET APIs />

FastAPI with full OpenAPI docs generated automatically. REST, WebSocket, and SSE. Rate limiting, auth middleware, background tasks, and webhook receivers.

< ASYNC DATA PIPELINES />

asyncpg for blazing-fast PostgreSQL reads/writes. Batch processing, queue consumers, and ETL pipelines that handle millions of rows without choking.

< AI ORCHESTRATION />

LangChain, LlamaIndex, and bare OpenAI/Anthropic API. Agent pipelines, RAG with pgvector, and private LLM endpoints on your own infra.

// WHY_FASTAPI_NOT_NODE

Why I Chose Python for Production Backends

I have built in Node, Go, and Python. For data-heavy, AI-adjacent backends, Python wins on every metric that matters in production.


  • ✓ FastAPI auto-generates OpenAPI docs — no manual spec writing
  • ✓ asyncpg is 3x faster than SQLAlchemy for high-throughput reads
  • ✓ Pydantic v2 validates every request/response at the type level
  • ✓ Python's AI/ML ecosystem is 5 years ahead of every other language
  • ✓ Celery + Redis for background tasks that survive server restarts

Use Cases I Build For

🔗

CRM Sync Engines

Webhook receivers that sync leads from Facebook, Google, and landing pages into GHL, HubSpot, or a custom DB in real time.

🤖

AI Agent Backends

API layers that orchestrate private LLMs: lead scoring, email drafting, competitor analysis, proposal generation.

📡

CAPI / Tracking Servers

Server-side conversion APIs for Facebook, Google, and TikTok. No pixel dependencies. Works through ad blockers and iOS14.

🧮

Calculation APIs

Financial calculators, ROAS models, LTV projections. Handles complex formulas with Pydantic-validated inputs and cached results.

🗄️

Multi-Tenant SaaS Backends

Row-Level Security in PostgreSQL + JWT auth. Every tenant's data isolated at the database level, not just the application layer.

⚙️

Automation Backends

n8n webhook targets, Airtable replacements, and custom API backends for no-code tools that have outgrown their hosts.

The Tech Stack in Detail

FastAPI 0.110+ — Async Python web framework. Auto-generated OpenAPI/Swagger docs. Dependency injection for auth, DB connections, and rate limiting. Background tasks without Celery for simple cases.

asyncpg + PostgreSQL 16 — Direct PostgreSQL driver without ORM overhead. 3x faster than SQLAlchemy for read-heavy workloads. JSONB columns for flexible schema. pgvector extension for AI semantic search.

Pydantic v2 — Request/response validation at the type system level. Invalid data never reaches your business logic. Errors surface at the API boundary with clear messages.

Deployment: Coolify + Docker — FastAPI in an Alpine container. Git push to deploy. Gunicorn + Uvicorn workers. Health checks. Zero downtime deploys via container swap.

Systems I Have Shipped

God Mode API — the backend powering Jumpstart Scaling's factory: multi-tenant content generation, async job queues, and PostgreSQL as a document store. Handles bulk AI generation without dropping requests.

Solar roofing API — Google Solar API integration for a regional solar installer. Postal code lookup → solar potential calculation → lead capture API → CRM sync. 200ms response time on production.
