Starting a new project is a common task in microservices architecture. To do this it’s better to have a some template. I put my version to the flask-mongoengine-bootstrap repository. The key point are:

• very basic, only flask, flask-mongoengine and structlog in requirements
• configuration through environment variables
• configured logging in JSON format
• marking log records with request_id
• possibility to run development version make dev and tests make test through docker
• a template for Makefile
• examples of model, api route and tests

If you’ll use it, do not forget to change SECRET_KEY.
