Deploy FastAPI in 60 Seconds

FastAPI is the modern Python framework for building APIs with automatic docs and async support. Deploy it with one command — no Uvicorn wrangling, no ASGI setup.

Deploy FastAPI Starting at $3/mo

The usual way to deploy FastAPI

Uvicorn needs specific configuration: worker count, host binding, loop policy, and whether to use --reload in prod (you shouldn't)
Deciding between Uvicorn standalone, Uvicorn behind Gunicorn, or Hypercorn — and configuring whichever you choose
ASGI middleware ordering matters in production: CORS, trusted hosts, and proxy headers must be configured differently than in dev
Managing Python path issues on the server so uvicorn main:app resolves correctly from the right working directory
Auto-generated /docs and /redoc endpoints need authentication or disabling in production but work fine in dev

FastAPI is a joy to develop with, but the ASGI deployment stack is a maze of Uvicorn flags and proxy headers.

Or just run one command

$ instapods deploy my-fastapi-app --preset python

→ Uploading files...

→ Installing dependencies (pip install -r requirements.txt)...

FastAPI deployment notes

Entry Point

Name your main file main.py and your FastAPI instance "app". InstaPods auto-detects this and starts Uvicorn with the correct module path.

Async Performance

FastAPI async endpoints run on Uvicorn's event loop. The Launch plan handles typical API workloads. Use Build or Grow for CPU-heavy ML inference.

Auto Documentation

The /docs (Swagger) and /redoc endpoints work immediately at your InstaPods URL. Add authentication middleware if you want to restrict access in production.
