# 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.

## Common Use Cases

- **Learning tool** — A hands-on starter project for beginners learning REST APIs, async Python, and CRUD fundamentals.
- **Rapid prototyping** — Quickly spin up a backend with a working UI to validate ideas before committing to a full database stack.
- **Internal task tracker** — A simple self-hosted to-do or inventory tracker for small teams or personal use.

## Dependencies for FastAPI SQLite CRUD Hosting

- **Python 3.10+** — Runtime environment.
- **FastAPI** — Async web framework powering the API and serving the frontend.
- **Uvicorn** — High-performance ASGI server.
- **aiosqlite** — Async SQLite driver for non-blocking database access.
- **Pydantic** — Request/response data validation.
