What is SQL Alchemy and Alembic?

SQLAlchemy is a popular Python library for working with databases. It provides a set of high-level API's for connecting to and interacting with various types of databases, including relational databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite, as well as non-relational databases like MongoDB.

This can make working with databases more efficient and less error-prone.
