Here's your final, polished, best-version README — complete with all badges, clean formatting, and ready to copy-paste directly:

---

🧠 FastAPI Python Boilerplate — AI‑Driven DevOps Stack

---

🚀 Overview

A production‑ready FastAPI boilerplate integrating:

• 🧩 LangGraph AI Agent — query SQL databases using natural language
• 💳 Stripe Payment Integration — secure, scalable payment flow
• ⚙️ Helm + Kubernetes CI/CD — automated deployment and scaling
• 🌐 Traefik Routing — seamless microservice orchestration

---

⚙️ Getting Started

Requirements

• Python 3.11+
• Docker Desktop 4.43+ or Docker Engine
• Docker Compose 2.38.1+ (Linux)
• Optional GPU for local inference

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/ZyntroAI/fastapi-python-boilerplate.git
cd fastapi-python-boilerplate
docker compose up

---

🔑 Environment Variables

Variable	Description	Example
DATABASE_URL	PostgreSQL connection string	postgresql://user:pass@db:5432/chinook
OPENAI_API_KEY	API key for OpenAI inference	sk-xxxx
STRIPE_SECRET_KEY	Stripe secret key	sk_live_xxxx
STRIPE_PUBLIC_KEY	Stripe publishable key	pk_live_xxxx
APP_ENV	Environment mode	development / production

Store secrets in .env or secret.* files. Never commit secrets to Git.

---

🧠 Inference Options

Default: Local Docker model runner.

Switch to OpenAI:

echo "sk-..." > secret.openai-api-key
docker compose down -v
docker compose -f compose.yaml -f compose.openai.yaml up

---

🧪 Testing Guide

Run unit tests:

pytest tests/

Run with coverage report:

pytest --cov=app --cov-report=xml tests/

Integration tests (requires containers running):

docker compose exec backend pytest tests/integration

💡 Codecov Tip: Add the step below to your CI workflow to automatically upload coverage:

- name: Upload Coverage to Codecov
  uses: codecov/codecov-action@v4
  with:
    files: ./coverage.xml
