Deploy and Host FastHTML + Postgres on Railway

FastHTML is a Python framework for building server-rendered web applications using HTMX. This template deploys a guestbook demo app with PostgreSQL, demonstrating real CRUD operations, HTMX-powered forms, and Pico CSS styling — ready to customize into your own project.

About Hosting FastHTML + Postgres

Deploying FastHTML with Postgres on Railway requires minimal configuration. The Dockerfile builds with uv for fast dependency resolution, and Railway automatically injects the DATABASE_URL environment variable from the Postgres plugin. The app handles the postgres:// to postgresql:// conversion that SQLAlchemy requires. For local development, the app falls back to SQLite so you can run it without any database setup. Just push your code and Railway handles the rest.
