Deploy and Host FastAPI + Celery (Beat, Worker, Flower) on Railway

FastAPI combined with Celery provides a complete async task processing system. This template deploys a production-ready API with background workers, periodic schedulers, and real-time monitoring via Flower with authentication.

About Hosting FastAPI + Celery (Beat, Worker, Flower)

This deployment consists of 5 interconnected services running on Railway's platform. The FastAPI service exposes REST endpoints and triggers Celery tasks. Celery Workers process tasks from the Redis queue, while Celery Beat handles periodic scheduling. Flower monitors all Celery activity in real-time via a web dashboard. caddy-zero-trust sits in front of Flower as the public entry point, requiring authentication before proxying requests. Railway handles TLS termination and provides private networking between services.

Common Use Cases

Monitor Celery worker health and task throughput in production
Process async tasks triggered by API requests (email, notifications, data processing)
Schedule periodic data synchronization and cleanup jobs
Debug failed tasks and inspect arguments/results in real-time
Scale background processing independently from API
