Deploy and Host FastAPI Strawberry GraphQL on Railway

FastAPI Strawberry GraphQL is a production-ready API template combining FastAPI's async performance with Strawberry's type-safe GraphQL. It features SQLAlchemy 2.0 async ORM, automatic schema generation, and dual REST/GraphQL endpoints—ideal for building flexible, high-performance APIs.

About Hosting FastAPI Strawberry GraphQL

Deploying FastAPI Strawberry GraphQL requires an async-capable Python runtime and a PostgreSQL database. This template handles the complexity automatically: environment-based configuration switches between SQLite (dev) and PostgreSQL (prod), the async database driver (asyncpg) manages connection pooling, and tables are auto-created on first startup with sample data seeded.

Common Use Cases

API backends for mobile/web apps - Single GraphQL endpoint serves multiple client types with flexible queries
Microservices with complex data relationships - Eager loading prevents N+1 queries across related entities
Rapid prototyping - Auto-seeding and dual REST/GraphQL endpoints accelerate development

Dependencies for FastAPI Strawberry GraphQL Hosting

PostgreSQL 14+ - Primary database for production
Python 3.12+ - Async runtime with uvicorn server

Deployment Dependencies

FastAPI - Async web framework
Strawberry GraphQL - Type-safe GraphQL library
SQLAlchemy 2.0 - Async ORM with asyncpg driver

Implementation Details

# Each GraphQL resolver gets its own database session for concurrent query execution
async def tools(self, info: Info, limit: int = 20) -> list[Tool]:
    async with info.context["session_factory"]() as session:
        result = await session.execute(select(Tool).limit(limit))
        return [tool_from_model(t) for t in result.scalars().all()]
