Deploy and Host Next.js + FastAPI Full-Stack Starter on Railway

Deploy a production-style full-stack monorepo starter with Next.js, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis, and a background worker. Includes a real end-to-end async flow out of the box: create a record in the UI and watch it move from pending → processing → completed automatically.

About Hosting Next.js + FastAPI Full-Stack Starter

This template is a production-inspired starter scaffold designed to help you launch real applications faster.

It includes:

• web → Next.js frontend
• api → FastAPI backend
• worker → background processing service
• postgres → persistent relational database
• redis → cache and async queue

The application deploys empty by default, but the full flow works immediately.

Create a record from the UI and the worker will process it automatically in the background.

This demonstrates a real-world architecture from day one without requiring you to rebuild the foundation later.

Common Use Cases

• SaaS product starters
• internal tools and admin dashboards
• AI agent dashboards and orchestration apps
• async processing workflows
• CRUD applications with background jobs

Implementation Details

Architecture components:

• web → UI and user interactions
• api → REST API + database access
• worker → async background processing
• postgres → primary data storage
• redis → queue + cache layer

Included working flow:

1. Create a record in the UI
2. API stores it as pending
3. Worker picks it up automatically
4. Status updates to processing
5. Completes as completed

This makes it easy to understand the full stack immediately after deployment.
