We have a lightweight integration util tortoise.contrib.fastapi which has a class RegisterTortoise that can be used to set/clean up Tortoise-ORM in lifespan context.

Initialize the migrations directory (one-time, already done in this example):

python -m tortoise -c config.TORTOISE_ORM init

Create migrations when models change:

python -m tortoise -c config.TORTOISE_ORM makemigrations

Apply migrations to the database:

python -m tortoise -c config.TORTOISE_ORM migrate

uvicorn main:app --reload
