Explore TaskFlow Backend Structure
Practice reading and understanding Python FastAPI code structure to prepare for containerization
Lab Overview
🛠Lab from the Platform Engineering Bootcamp. Used in Week 6. Parent course(s):
- Week 6: Python & JavaScript Foundations (slug: python-javascript-foundations)
🟡 Beta lab. Part of the running TaskFlow project that grows across all 21 weeks of the bootcamp.
Before you containerize an application, you need to understand how it works. In this lab, you will explore the TaskFlow backend codebase using the Linux terminal. You will navigate the project structure, read the application startup code, examine API routes and database models, and review the service layer and validation schemas. This reading comprehension exercise builds the foundation you need to write correct Dockerfiles and debug container issues in later weeks.
