Pydantic Model vs SQLAlchemy Model

Pydantic Model

• Schema/Pydantic Models define the structure of a request & response

• This ensures that when a user wants to create a post, the request will only go through if has a "title" and "content" in the body (as defined via Pydantic)

SQLAlchemy Model

• Responsible for defining the columns of our "posts" table within Postgres

• Is used to query, create, delete, update entries within the database
