Production Deployment

Deploy your Fastman application to production.

Pre-Deployment Checklist​

Before deploying, ensure you:

  • Set DEBUG=false in production
  • Generate a secure SECRET_KEY
  • Configure production database URL
  • Run all migrations
  • Set up proper logging

Docker Deployment​

Build the Image​

fastman build --docker

Or manually with the generated Dockerfile:

docker build -t my-api:latest .

Run the Container​

docker run -d \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  -e DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:pass@host/db \
  -e SECRET_KEY=your-production-secret \
  my-api:latest

Docker Compose​

# docker-compose.yml
version: '3.8'

services:
  api:
    build: .
    ports:
      - "8000:8000"
    environment:
      - DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:password@db:5432/app
      - SECRET_KEY=${SECRET_KEY}
    depends_on:
      - db

  db:
    image: postgres:15
    environment:
      POSTGRES_DB: app
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: password
    volumes:
      - postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data

volumes:
  postgres_data:

Performance Optimization​

Cache Configuration​

Cache your environment configuration for faster startup:

fastman config:cache

To clear:

fastman config:clear

Code Optimization​

Remove unused imports and format code:

fastman optimize

Clear Cache​

Remove Python bytecode cache:

fastman cache:clear

Cloud Platforms​

Railway / Render​

Most platforms auto-detect Python projects. Ensure your Procfile:

web: uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port $PORT

AWS / GCP / Azure​

Use the Docker deployment method with your cloud's container service.

Reverse Proxy​

Example Nginx configuration:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name api.example.com;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
    }
}
