Brian #1: Migrating from mypy to ty: Lessons from FastAPI
- Tim Hopper
- I saw this post by Sebastián Ramírez about all of his projects switching to ty
- FastAPI, Typer, SQLModel, Asyncer, FastAPI CLI
- SqlModel is already ty only - mypy removed
- This signals that ty is ready to use
- Tim lists some steps to apply ty to your own projects
- Add ty alongside mypy
- Set
error-on-warning = true - Accept the double-ignore comments
- Pick a smaller project to cut over first
- Drop mypy when the noise exceeds the signalAdd ty alongside mypy
- Related anecdote:
- I had tried out ty with pytest-check in the past with difficulty
- Tried it again this morning, only a few areas where mypy was happy but ty reported issues
- At least one ty warning was a potential problem for people running pre-releases of pytest,
- Not really related: packaging.version.parse is awesome
Michael #2: Oxyde ORM
- Oxyde ORM is a type-safe, Pydantic-centric asynchronous ORM with a high-performance Rust core.
- Note: Oxyde is a young project under active development. The API may evolve between minor versions.
- No sync wrappers or thread pools. Oxyde is async from the ground up
- Includes oxyde-admin
- Features

Michael #4: Raw+DC Database Pattern: A Retrospective
- A new design pattern I’m seeing gain traction in the software space: Raw+DC: The ORM pattern of 2026
- I’ve had a chance to migrate three of my most important web app.
- Thrilled to report that yes, the web app is much faster using Raw+DC
- Plus, this was part of the journey to move from 1.3 GB memory usage to 0.45 GB (more on this next week)
