Tech and Tools I use

A list of tools I use whether for:

• Personal side projects
• My full-time job

Code

The code editor I'm currently using is VSCode, but sometimes while using Ubuntu, I use Sublime Text.

• Primary stack:

  • FastAPI, Starlette, Pydantic
  • Postgres, RabbitMQ, Redis (when required)
  • Uvicorn, httpx
    • Tools like: pytest, pytest-asyncio, pytest-cov, pytest-mock, etc...

• Secondary stack:

  • Django.
  • Serverless functions are written in Python (when required).
  • API integration with Python (when required).
  • Test integrations (ex. pytest, unittest, etc).
  • Markdown, Yaml, JSON, etc... (when required)
  • Tools like Celery, Redis, Postgres, etc...

This stack mostly I use it while building my opensource projects or with some clients, I work with.
