I built a production-ready Next.js 14 + FastAPI + Docker boilerplate (free + pro version)

#nextjs #python #docker #devops

Tired of spending days setting up the same stack for every new project?

I just open-sourced a free boilerplate that gives you a complete, production-ready foundation to build your next SaaS or web app.

What's in the stack?

Next.js 14 (App Router + TypeScript)
FastAPI (Python backend)
PostgreSQL + Redis
Nginx reverse proxy
Docker Compose (dev environment)
.env.example pre-configured
MIT License

Everything is wired together out of the box. Clone, configure your .env, run docker-compose up and you're live.

GitHub (free Lite version)

Star it if it helps you!

Why I built this

Every time I started a new project I was spending 2-3 days just setting up the infrastructure: connecting the frontend to the backend, configuring Nginx, wiring up the database, writing Docker configs...

I decided to build it once, properly, and share it.

Pro Version

For developers who want to go straight to production, I've put together a Pro version that adds:

docker-compose.prod.yml — battle-tested production setup with health checks
Makefile — one-command deployments (make deploy, make logs, make restart)
nginx.conf — SSL-ready, optimized Nginx configuration
Grafana + Prometheus monitoring stack — real-time dashboards for your API
Priority email support

Price: €39 one-time (no subscription)
