## Documentation

# 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

## Dependencies for Next.js + FastAPI Full-Stack Starter Hosting

This template includes all required dependencies:

* Next.js
* FastAPI
* PostgreSQL
* Redis
* Python background worker

### Deployment Dependencies

* Next.js Documentation: https://nextjs.org/docs
* FastAPI Documentation: https://fastapi.tiangolo.com
* Railway Documentation: https://docs.railway.com
* Redis Documentation: https://redis.io/docs

### 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.
