The author of FastApi wrote an ORM too:

I have not yet used it, but I think that’s the best approach now

Whats the deal with they large number of open issues an pull requests on FastAPI and SQLModel?

SQLModel 100 issues, 54 open PRs

FastAPI 903 issues, 448(!!) open PRs

I recently had to choose between Flask and FastAPI for a fresh project and went with Flask in the end, partly due to long term maintenance concerns with FastAPI.

There was a recent discussion about it here including a reply from the FastAPI creator explaining the situation:

Having given SqlModel a very proper go a few months back, I have to say that it's not worth using it just yet. There are too many outstanding issues and the documentation is also incomplete. Maybe in a year's time, the situation could be different.
