Overview of my Submission
For my submission in the Redis Hackathon, I built a Blog Service with python's fastest web framework, FastAPI and Redis OM. I was able to create a Redis database on Redis, database models with Redis-OM and then develop Restful APIs with Python FastAPI that could interact with Redis to create, retrieve and search data. FastAPI is a modern, high-performance Web framework for developing RESTful APIs in Python. It is known for being fast, easy and automatically generating swagger API docs.
The inspiration for this project is simply from how much I love to write. By virtue of how much I love to write and my curiosity as a software engineer, I have always wondered what the database architecture of blogging services would be like.
Here is the link to the GitHub repository what I built is stored in containing a README and a MIT license.

How it works
The blog is pretty simple. It has the following API's;
-
A
GETmethod at the home page that displays the messageHello world, I am Salim from Africa!. -
Two
POSTmethods [to create authors and blogs respectively] that users can use to create a new blog and register as an author.
The author method collects the pk, first name, last name, email address, bio of the author and the date the author joined. The schema is shown below.
"pk": "string",
"first_name": "string",
"last_name": "string",
"email": "string",
"bio": "string",
"date_joined": "2022-08-24T16:59:09.222111"
-
A
GETmethod that retrieves the created blogs. -
A
PUTmethod that is capable of updating blogs. -
A
DELETEmethod that makes users able to delete blogs.
