Import `SQLModel` and create a database model:

{* ../../docs_src/sql_databases/tutorial001_an_py310.py ln[1:11] hl[7:11] *}

The `Hero` class is very similar to a Pydantic model (in fact, underneath, it actually *is a Pydantic model*).

There are a few differences:

$ python main.py

I solemnly swear 🐺

## Alternatives { #alternatives }

This is a simple guide to get you started and teach you how everything works **underneath**.

There are many **alternatives** to managing virtual environments, package dependencies (requirements), projects.

		return nil, err

	return &sarama.ProducerMessage{
		Topic: target.args.Topic,
		Key:   sarama.StringEncoder(key),
		Value: sarama.ByteEncoder(data),
	}, nil

// Close - closes underneath kafka connection.
func (target *KafkaTarget) Close() error {
	close(target.quitCh)

		if IsConnErr(err) {
			return store.ErrNotConnected

		return err
	}

	// Delete the event from store.
	return target.store.Del(key)
}

// Close - closes underneath connections to PostgreSQL database.
func (target *PostgreSQLTarget) Close() error {

### [Django REST Framework](https://www.django-rest-framework.org/) { #django-rest-framework }

Django REST framework was created to be a flexible toolkit for building Web APIs using Django underneath, to improve its API capabilities.

It is used by many companies including Mozilla, Red Hat and Eventbrite.

		if os.IsNotExist(eErr) {
			return nil
		}
		return eErr
	}

	if err := target.send(eventData); err != nil {
		return err
	}

	return target.store.Del(key)
}

// Close - closes underneath connections to NATS server.
func (target *NATSTarget) Close() (err error) {
	close(target.quitCh)
	if target.stanConn != nil {
		// closing the streaming connection does not close the provided NATS connection.

Many packages that simplify it a lot have to make many compromises with the data model, database, and available features. And some of these packages that simplify things too much actually have security flaws underneath.

---

**FastAPI** doesn't make any compromise with any database, data model or tool.

It gives you all the flexibility to choose the ones that fit your project the best.

```Python
with open("./somefile.txt") as f:
    contents = f.read()
    print(contents)
```

Underneath, the `open("./somefile.txt")` creates an object that is called a "Context Manager".

When the `with` block finishes, it makes sure to close the file, even if there were exceptions.

    So, it's important to put this **near the end** of the `Dockerfile`, to optimize the container image build times.

6. Set the **command** to use `fastapi run`, which uses Uvicorn underneath.

    `CMD` takes a list of strings, each of these strings is what you would type in the command line separated by spaces.
