This project focuses on working with database using SQLAlchemy in Flask application. Learn how to design and implement database table mappings using SQLAlchemy, how to use them to insert and retrieve data from the database. You will also learn how to filter data by building a correct SQL-query with SQLAlchemy. All of this is, of course, accompanied by the knowledge of how to display the information in the REST API format.

About

Storing data is what you'll have to deal with a lot as a backend developer. It's critical to save and store information in the most efficient and convenient way because almost every application has some information that needs to be saved. A movie database is a good example to get to know how to implement data models and relations between them in a database schema.
