Description

This is a tentative roadmap, I will update it as things evolve. Some things might be discarded, others might be added later. I didn't want to make it fully public as it could raise expectations, but it seems it would be more beneficial for the community to know all the ideas and objectives.

Work on this is alternated (and sometimes mixed) with work on Typer, SQLModel, Asyncer, and others.

Answering questions, issues, and PRs is also intermixed with this, but as in some cases one of these features would solve several issues or questions, or potentially solve something done by one or more PRs, in many cases I focus on this a bit more than on answering specific issues, questions, PRs.

Maintenance

The word "maintenance" or "maintainer" doesn't have a very strict definition, and it probably varies a lot from perspective.

A lot of the work related to maintaining FastAPI is done by contributors by answering questions, reviewing PRs, etc.

You can help me ensure each existing PR is in shape (has tests, solves the problem, etc.). Make sure you filter out the translation PRs (most of them) unless you speak the language and can review them.

Security

When there are security issues, those are handled with the highest priority. Those are normally not handled in issues and PRs but in emails, it's not public until the security disclosure is made, in most cases (always, up to now) with the version that fixes them.

Roadmap

Now, here's the current high-level tentative roadmap:

• Support for the latest SQLAlchemy before 2.0 ⬆️ Upgrade support for SQLAlchemy 1.4.49, update tests #519
• Support for the latest Pydantic before 2.0 ✨ Add support for all Field parameters from Pydantic 1.9.0 and above, make Pydantic 1.9.0 the minimum required version #440
• Support for SQLAlchemy 2.0. ✨ Upgrade SQLAlchemy to 2.0, including initial work by farahats9 #700
• Support for Pydantic 2.0.
• Async tools and docs.
• Integrated migrations (using Alembic).
• Integrated CLI for migrations (using Typer).
• Integrated model generation from existing DBs.
• Reference (Code API) docs

All this is intermixed with reviews for PRs, issues, and discussions.
