Notes:
- Review image tags, commands, and mounted paths for your actual application layout.
- Secrets are represented as environment variables in .env.example; replace placeholder values before use.
- Healthchecks are included for supported infrastructure services.
- Named Docker volumes are enabled for local persistence.

FastAPI + PostgreSQL + Redis

How it works

FastAPI PostgreSQL Redis Docker Compose gives you a practical Compose baseline for Python APIs with Postgres persistence and Redis cache or queue support. It uses environment variables for secrets, named services for local networking, and readable service names so the generated file is easy to adapt.
This preset is meant for developers who want to start from a working multi-service skeleton instead of writing YAML from scratch. The generated output includes docker-compose.yml, .env.example, common commands, and connection notes.
Treat the result as infrastructure scaffolding. Before production, review image pinning, TLS termination, backup policy, resource limits, secret management, and whether database ports should be exposed outside the Compose network.

Limitations

This preset targets a common workflow and should be reviewed against your production environment.
Generated output is deterministic and local-first, but scheduler, log, or infrastructure dialects can vary.
Use the full parent tool when you need to adjust fields, ports, options, or sample inputs.

FAQ

Is this FastAPI + PostgreSQL + Redis Docker Compose file production-ready?

It is a strong starter, not a hardened production deployment. Review secrets, TLS, backups, resource limits, and network exposure before production use.

Does the builder store my stack configuration?

No. Preset generation is static and the interactive builder runs locally in the browser.

Can I download the generated Compose files?

Yes. The page exposes copyable and downloadable output for docker-compose.yml and related notes.
