Production-ready Backend with dbmate, PugSQL, PropelAuth, and FastAPI

A tutorial demonstrates how to build an API-first, multi-tenant B2B URL shortener with FastAPI, SQLite, dbmate, PugSQL, and PropelAuth. It uses dbmate migrations to create and later extend a URLs table, PugSQL to map SQL files into Python-callable queries without an ORM, and FastAPI routes to create random unique short links and redirect visitors to their original URLs. PropelAuth adds authenticated users, organization membership checks, and role-based authorization, allowing organization members to create and view shared links while limiting deletion to administrators. The walkthrough also highlights FastAPI’s generated OpenAPI documentation for testing authenticated endpoints and emphasizes how the selected tools separate database migration, SQL access, authentication, and API concerns while enabling further extensions such as per-link analytics.
