We'll also look at why we use separate SQLAlchemy models and Pydantic schemas, and how to use FastAPI's dependency injection to manage database sessions. By the end, you'll have a solid foundation for database-driven FastAPI applications that you can later scale up to Postgres or MySQL. Let's get started...
