Deploy and Host FastAPI SQLite CRUD on Railway

A lightweight Python web application combining FastAPI and SQLite for full CRUD operations. It ships with a built-in dark-themed UI, search, stats dashboard, and a RESTful JSON API — all in a single file, ready to deploy.

About Hosting FastAPI SQLite CRUD

Hosting a FastAPI SQLite CRUD app involves running a Python ASGI server (Uvicorn) that serves both the API endpoints and the embedded frontend. SQLite stores data in a local file, eliminating the need for an external database service. Railway's Nixpacks builder auto-detects the Python environment from requirements.txt, installs dependencies, and runs the start command defined in railway.json. The app binds to the PORT environment variable provided by Railway. Since SQLite writes to disk, data persists within the Railway volume as long as the service is running.
