Over the past few days in the small moments when I've been able to work I've been experimenting with porting Hasher-Matcher-Actioner from Flask to FastAPI, and I now have it mostly working with an existing database.
It's been interesting working with python because I don't work with it much, but FastAPI still feels very much like Express in terms of how things are written — lots of building your own framework essentially, instead of "here's the given path", which can be daunting.
I still need to work out Alembic and migrations, but I have it working against an existing database with the same schema. Also need to figure out building CLI tools that accompany the server, where flask has that built-in
