• GINO - A lightweight asynchronous ORM built on top of SQLAlchemy core for Python asyncio.
  • FastAPI Example
• ORM - An async ORM.
• ormar - Ormar is an async ORM that uses Pydantic validation and can be used directly in FastAPI requests and responses so you are left with only one set of models to maintain. Alembic migrations included.
  • FastAPI Example - Using FastAPI with ormar.
• Piccolo - An async ORM and query builder, supporting Postgres and SQLite, with batteries (migrations, security, etc).
  • FastAPI Examples - Using FastAPI with Piccolo.
• Prisma Client Python - An auto-generated, fully type safe ORM powered by Pydantic and tailored specifically for your schema - supports SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, MariaDB and more.
  • FastAPI Example
• Tortoise ORM - An easy-to-use asyncio ORM (Object Relational Mapper) inspired by Django.
  • FastAPI Example - An example of the Tortoise-ORM FastAPI integration.
  • Tutorial: Setting up Tortoise ORM with FastAPI
  • Aerich - Tortoise ORM migrations tools.
• Saffier ORM - The only Python ORM you will ever need.
• SQLModel - SQLModel (which is powered by Pydantic and SQLAlchemy) is a library for interacting with SQL databases from Python code, with Python objects.

Query Builders

• asyncpgsa - A wrapper around asyncpg for use with SQLAlchemy Core.
• Databases - Async SQL query builder that works on top of the SQLAlchemy Core expression language.

ODMs

• Beanie - Asynchronous Python ODM for MongoDB, based on Motor and Pydantic, which supports data and schema migrations out of the box.
• MongoEngine - A Document-Object Mapper (think ORM, but for document databases) for working with MongoDB from Python.
• Motor - Asynchronous Python driver for MongoDB.
• ODMantic - AsyncIO MongoDB ODM integrated with Pydantic.
