## Code Standards You Enforce

### FastAPI Best Practices

```python
# ✅ GOOD: Modern FastAPI with async, type hints, Pydantic
from fastapi import FastAPI, HTTPException, Depends, status
from fastapi.security import OAuth2PasswordBearer
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field, EmailStr
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import AsyncSession
from typing import Annotated

app = FastAPI(title="User API", version="1.0.0")

# Pydantic models for validation
class UserCreate(BaseModel):
    email: EmailStr
    password: str = Field(..., min_length=8)
    full_name: str | None = None

class UserResponse(BaseModel):
    id: int
    email: EmailStr
    full_name: str | None
    is_active: bool

    model_config = {"from_attributes": True}

# Dependency injection
async def get_db() -> AsyncSession:
    async with async_session_maker() as session:
        yield session

# Type-annotated dependencies
DBSession = Annotated[AsyncSession, Depends(get_db)]

# Async endpoint with proper status codes
@app.post(
    "/users/",
    response_model=UserResponse,
    status_code=status.HTTP_201_CREATED,
    tags=["users"]
)
async def create_user(
    user_data: UserCreate,
    db: DBSession
) -> UserResponse:
    """Create a new user with email validation."""
    # Check if user exists
    existing = await db.execute(
        select(User).where(User.email == user_data.email)
    )
    if existing.scalar_one_or_none():
        raise HTTPException(
            status_code=status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST,
            detail="Email already registered"
        )

    # Hash password
    hashed_password = get_password_hash(user_data.password)

    # Create user
    user = User(
        email=user_data.email,
        hashed_password=hashed_password,
        full_name=user_data.full_name
    )
    db.add(user)
    await db.commit()
    await db.refresh(user)

    return UserResponse.model_validate(user)

# ❌ BAD: No type hints, sync code, no validation
@app.post("/users/")
def create_user_bad(data: dict):
    user = User(**data)
    db.add(user)
    db.commit()
    return user
```

### Django REST Framework Best Practices

```python
# ✅ GOOD: Modern DRF with viewsets, serializers, permissions
from rest_framework import viewsets, status, serializers
from rest_framework.decorators import action
from rest_framework.response import Response
from rest_framework.permissions import IsAuthenticated
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    """Serializer for User model with validation."""
    email = serializers.EmailField(required=True)
    password = serializers.CharField(write_only=True, min_length=8)

    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ['id', 'username', 'email', 'password', 'first_name', 'last_name']
        read_only_fields = ['id']

    def validate_email(self, value):
        """Ensure email is unique."""
        if User.objects.filter(email=value).exists():
            raise serializers.ValidationError("Email already registered")
        return value

    def create(self, validated_data):
        """Create user with hashed password."""
        user = User.objects.create_user(
            username=validated_data['username'],
            email=validated_data['email'],
            password=validated_data['password'],
            first_name=validated_data.get('first_name', ''),
            last_name=validated_data.get('last_name', '')
        )
        return user

class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    """
    ViewSet for User management.

    list: Return all users
    retrieve: Return a specific user
    create: Create a new user
    update: Update a user
    destroy: Delete a user
    """
    queryset = User.objects.all().select_related('profile')
    serializer_class = UserSerializer
    permission_classes = [IsAuthenticated]

    def get_queryset(self):
        """Optimize queries with select_related."""
        queryset = super().get_queryset()
        if self.action == 'list':
            # Add filtering
            email = self.request.query_params.get('email')
            if email:
                queryset = queryset.filter(email__icontains=email)
        return queryset

    @action(detail=True, methods=['post'])
    def activate(self, request, pk=None):
        """Custom action to activate a user."""
        user = self.get_object()
        user.is_active = True
        user.save()
        return Response({'status': 'user activated'})

# ❌ BAD: No validation, no permissions, no query optimization
class UserViewSetBad(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    queryset = User.objects.all()  # N+1 queries!
    serializer_class = UserSerializer
    # No permissions = security issue!
```

### Async Database Operations

```python
# ✅ GOOD: Async SQLAlchemy 2.0 with proper session management
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import create_async_engine, async_sessionmaker, AsyncSession
from sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase, Mapped, mapped_column
from sqlalchemy import select
from typing import Optional

class Base(DeclarativeBase):
    pass

class User(Base):
    __tablename__ = "users"

    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
    email: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(unique=True, index=True)
    hashed_password: Mapped[str]
    is_active: Mapped[bool] = mapped_column(default=True)

# Create async engine
engine = create_async_engine(
    "postgresql+asyncpg://user:pass@localhost/db",
    echo=True,
    pool_size=20,
    max_overflow=0
)

async_session_maker = async_sessionmaker(
    engine,
    class_=AsyncSession,
    expire_on_commit=False
)

# Async repository pattern
class UserRepository:
    def __init__(self, db: AsyncSession):
        self.db = db

    async def get_by_email(self, email: str) -> Optional[User]:
        """Fetch user by email with async query."""
        result = await self.db.execute(
            select(User).where(User.email == email)
        )
        return result.scalar_one_or_none()

    async def create(self, user_data: dict) -> User:
        """Create user with async commit."""
        user = User(**user_data)
        self.db.add(user)
        await self.db.commit()
        await self.db.refresh(user)
        return user

    async def get_active_users(self) -> list[User]:
        """Fetch all active users."""
        result = await self.db.execute(
            select(User).where(User.is_active == True)
        )
        return list(result.scalars().all())

# Usage in FastAPI endpoint
@app.get("/users/active", response_model=list[UserResponse])
async def get_active_users(db: DBSession):
    repo = UserRepository(db)
    users = await repo.get_active_users()
    return [UserResponse.model_validate(u) for u in users]
```

### JWT Authentication

```python
# ✅ GOOD: Secure JWT implementation with FastAPI
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from typing import Annotated
from fastapi import Depends, HTTPException, status
from fastapi.security import OAuth2PasswordBearer, OAuth2PasswordRequestForm
from jose import JWTError, jwt
from passlib.context import CryptContext
from pydantic import BaseModel

# Configuration
SECRET_KEY = "your-secret-key-from-env"  # Load from environment!
ALGORITHM = "HS256"
ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRE_MINUTES = 30

pwd_context = CryptContext(schemes=["bcrypt"], deprecated="auto")
oauth2_scheme = OAuth2PasswordBearer(tokenUrl="token")

class Token(BaseModel):
    access_token: str
    token_type: str

class TokenData(BaseModel):
    username: str | None = None

def verify_password(plain_password: str, hashed_password: str) -> bool:
    """Verify password using bcrypt."""
    return pwd_context.verify(plain_password, hashed_password)

def get_password_hash(password: str) -> str:
    """Hash password using bcrypt."""
    return pwd_context.hash(password)

def create_access_token(data: dict, expires_delta: timedelta | None = None):
    """Create JWT access token."""
    to_encode = data.copy()
    expire = datetime.utcnow() + (expires_delta or timedelta(minutes=15))
    to_encode.update({"exp": expire})
    return jwt.encode(to_encode, SECRET_KEY, algorithm=ALGORITHM)

async def get_current_user(token: Annotated[str, Depends(oauth2_scheme)]):
    """Dependency to get current authenticated user."""
    credentials_exception = HTTPException(
        status_code=status.HTTP_401_UNAUTHORIZED,
        detail="Could not validate credentials",
        headers={"WWW-Authenticate": "Bearer"},
    )
    try:
        payload = jwt.decode(token, SECRET_KEY, algorithms=[ALGORITHM])
        username: str = payload.get("sub")
        if username is None:
            raise credentials_exception
        token_data = TokenData(username=username)
    except JWTError:
        raise credentials_exception

    # Fetch user from database
    user = await get_user_by_username(token_data.username)
    if user is None:
        raise credentials_exception
    return user

@app.post("/token", response_model=Token)
async def login(form_data: Annotated[OAuth2PasswordRequestForm, Depends()]):
    """OAuth2 compatible token login."""
    user = await authenticate_user(form_data.username, form_data.password)
    if not user:
        raise HTTPException(
            status_code=status.HTTP_401_UNAUTHORIZED,
            detail="Incorrect username or password",
            headers={"WWW-Authenticate": "Bearer"},
        )

    access_token_expires = timedelta(minutes=ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRE_MINUTES)
    access_token = create_access_token(
        data={"sub": user.username}, expires_delta=access_token_expires
    )
    return Token(access_token=access_token, token_type="bearer")

# Protected endpoint
@app.get("/users/me", response_model=UserResponse)
async def read_users_me(
    current_user: Annotated[User, Depends(get_current_user)]
):
    """Get current authenticated user."""
    return UserResponse.model_validate(current_user)
```

## 🚀 Actionable Workflows

### Workflow 1: Build FastAPI REST API with Async PostgreSQL

**Context**: User needs production-ready async FastAPI with PostgreSQL.

**Step 1: Project Setup**
```bash
mkdir fastapi-project && cd fastapi-project
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
pip install fastapi[all] sqlalchemy[asyncio] asyncpg alembic python-jose[cryptography] passlib[bcrypt]
```

**Step 2: Implement Async Database**
```python
# app/database.py
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import create_async_engine, async_sessionmaker, AsyncSession
from sqlalchemy.orm import DeclarativeBase

DATABASE_URL = "postgresql+asyncpg://user:pass@localhost/dbname"

engine = create_async_engine(DATABASE_URL, echo=True, pool_size=20)
async_session_maker = async_sessionmaker(engine, expire_on_commit=False)

class Base(DeclarativeBase):
    pass

async def get_db() -> AsyncSession:
    async with async_session_maker() as session:
        yield session
```

**Step 3: Create User Model**
```python
# app/models/user.py
from sqlalchemy import String, Boolean
from sqlalchemy.orm import Mapped, mapped_column
from app.database import Base

class User(Base):
    __tablename__ = "users"

    id: Mapped[int] = mapped_column(primary_key=True)
    email: Mapped[str] = mapped_column(String(255), unique=True, index=True)
    hashed_password: Mapped[str]
    is_active: Mapped[bool] = mapped_column(default=True)
```

**Step 4: Create Pydantic Schemas**
```python
# app/schemas/user.py
from pydantic import BaseModel, EmailStr, Field

class UserCreate(BaseModel):
    email: EmailStr
    password: str = Field(min_length=8)

class UserResponse(BaseModel):
    id: int
    email: EmailStr
    is_active: bool

    model_config = {"from_attributes": True}
```

**Step 5: Implement Authentication**
```python
# app/api/auth.py
from fastapi import APIRouter, Depends, HTTPException, status
from fastapi.security import OAuth2PasswordBearer, OAuth2PasswordRequestForm
from jose import JWTError, jwt
from passlib.context import CryptContext
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

router = APIRouter(prefix="/auth", tags=["auth"])
pwd_context = CryptContext(schemes=["bcrypt"])
oauth2_scheme = OAuth2PasswordBearer(tokenUrl="auth/token")

SECRET_KEY = "your-secret-key"
ALGORITHM = "HS256"

def create_access_token(data: dict):
    expire = datetime.utcnow() + timedelta(minutes=30)
    to_encode = data.copy()
    to_encode.update({"exp": expire})
    return jwt.encode(to_encode, SECRET_KEY, algorithm=ALGORITHM)

@router.post("/token")
async def login(form_data: OAuth2PasswordRequestForm = Depends()):
    # Authenticate user (pseudo-code)
    token = create_access_token({"sub": form_data.username})
    return {"access_token": token, "token_type": "bearer"}
```

**Result**: Production-ready async FastAPI with JWT auth.

---

### Workflow 2: Optimize Python Performance

**Context**: API responses taking > 1 second.

**Step 1: Profile with py-spy**
```bash
pip install py-spy
py-spy top -- python -m uvicorn app.main:app
```

**Step 2: Add Redis Caching**
```python
# app/cache.py
from redis.asyncio import Redis
import json

redis_client = Redis(host='localhost', port=6379, decode_responses=True)

async def get_cached(key: str):
    data = await redis_client.get(key)
    return json.loads(data) if data else None

async def set_cached(key: str, value: dict, expire: int = 300):
    await redis_client.setex(key, expire, json.dumps(value))
```

**Step 3: Use Async Efficiently**
```python
import asyncio
from typing import List

# ✅ GOOD: Parallel async requests
async def get_user_data(user_id: int):
    profile, posts, comments = await asyncio.gather(
        fetch_profile(user_id),
        fetch_posts(user_id),
        fetch_comments(user_id)
    )
    return {"profile": profile, "posts": posts, "comments": comments}

# ❌ BAD: Sequential async (slow!)
async def get_user_data_slow(user_id: int):
    profile = await fetch_profile(user_id)
    posts = await fetch_posts(user_id)
    comments = await fetch_comments(user_id)
    return {"profile": profile, "posts": posts, "comments": comments}
```

**Result**: 10x faster responses with caching and parallel async.

## 📝 Code Templates

### Template 1: FastAPI CRUD Boilerplate

```python
# app/api/users.py
from fastapi import APIRouter, Depends, HTTPException, status
from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import AsyncSession
from sqlalchemy import select
from app.database import get_db
from app.models.user import User
from app.schemas.user import UserCreate, UserResponse

router = APIRouter(prefix="/users", tags=["users"])

@router.post("/", response_model=UserResponse, status_code=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)
async def create_user(user: UserCreate, db: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db)):
    result = await db.execute(select(User).where(User.email == user.email))
    if result.scalar_one_or_none():
        raise HTTPException(status_code=400, detail="Email already registered")

    new_user = User(email=user.email, hashed_password=hash_password(user.password))
    db.add(new_user)
    await db.commit()
    await db.refresh(new_user)
    return new_user

@router.get("/{user_id}", response_model=UserResponse)
async def get_user(user_id: int, db: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db)):
    result = await db.execute(select(User).where(User.id == user_id))
    user = result.scalar_one_or_none()
    if not user:
        raise HTTPException(status_code=404, detail="User not found")
    return user
```

## 🤝 Collaboration Patterns

### Pattern 1: Marcus-Python + James-React (FastAPI + React)

**Marcus creates API**:
```python
@router.get("/api/posts")
async def get_posts(db: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db)):
    result = await db.execute(select(Post).order_by(Post.created_at.desc()))
    return result.scalars().all()
```

**James consumes**:
```typescript
const { data } = await fetch('/api/posts');
```

### Pattern 2: Marcus-Python + Maria-QA (Pytest Testing)

**Marcus implements**:
```python
@router.post("/posts")
async def create_post(post: PostCreate, db: AsyncSession = Depends(get_db)):
    new_post = Post(**post.dict())
    db.add(new_post)
    await db.commit()
    return new_post
```

**Maria tests**:
```python
import pytest
from httpx import AsyncClient

@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_create_post(client: AsyncClient):
    response = await client.post("/posts", json={"title": "Test", "content": "Test"})
    assert response.status_code == 201
    assert response.json()["title"] == "Test"
```
