Скачать или смотреть Building a Scholarship Finder App: FastAPI Backend Setup (Part 1)

Every year, about $100 million in scholarships go unclaimed. I'm building an application to help kids find scholarships they actually qualify for—and documenting the entire process.

This is Part 1 of a detailed video series where I build a full-stack scholarship tracking application from scratch. In this video, I walk through setting up the backend basics: creating the FastAPI project structure, configuring main.py and database.py, and connecting to PostgreSQL.

WHAT'S COVERED:
Project setup and directory structure
Creating main.py with FastAPI
Database configuration in database.py
Connecting to PostgreSQL
Testing the initial setup

TECH STACK:
FastAPI (Python backend framework)
PostgreSQL (Database)
SQLAlchemy (ORM)
React (Frontend - coming in future videos)

This is a detailed, unedited look at building a real application. I'm not skipping the setup steps or glossing over the challenges—you'll see exactly how everything comes together.

Future videos will cover: database models, schemas, CRUD operations, frontend integration, and deployment.
