Build a Full Stack Profile Manager App with FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, React & Redux Toolkit
In this tutorial, you will learn how to build a production-style full stack web application using modern technologies like FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, React, and Redux Toolkit.
What You Will Build
- Full CRUD Profile Management System
- Search functionality (backend filtering)
- Pagination system
- Global state management with Redux Toolkit
- REST API with FastAPI
Architecture Overview
Below is the system architecture of the application:
Frontend (React + Redux)
↓
API Calls (Axios)
↓
Backend (FastAPI)
↓
Database (SQLAlchemy ORM)
Backend Stack: FastAPI + SQLAlchemy
FastAPI is used to build high-performance APIs while SQLAlchemy handles database operations efficiently.
Profile Model
class Profile(Base):
__tablename__ = "profiles"
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
name = Column(String)
email = Column(String)
description = Column(String)
Search + Pagination API
GET /profiles?limit=5&page=1&search=john
This endpoint supports:
- Server-side search filtering
- Pagination (page & limit)
- Optimized database queries
Frontend: React + Redux Toolkit
Redux Toolkit is used to manage global application state such as profiles, search queries, and pagination.
Redux State Example
{
profiles: [],
loading: false,
page: 1,
search: "",
total: 0
}
Why Redux Toolkit?
- ✔ Centralized state management
- ✔ Cleaner async logic (createAsyncThunk)
- ✔ Scalable architecture
Key Features
- Full-stack CRUD application
- Search & pagination
- Redux state management
- FastAPI REST API
Summary
This project demonstrates how modern full-stack applications are built using scalable backend architecture and efficient frontend state management.
