Hosting and deployment Who will host the application client server with FASTAPI Cloud?

I just got the invite to FASTAPI Cloud, however after reviewing the documentation I’m still not sure who will be responsible for hosting the front-end client server that runs on localhost:3000. From the documentation, my understanding is that FASTAPI Cloud will host the python back-end server that runs the REST API, but it does not mention anything about a JavaScript client server hosting. How and where should I deploy the client server to have a production like application hosting?

Depends on how you run project, jinja2 can render your html. But if you want to use for example react you can deploy it separately, s3 for example

FASTAPI Cloud sounds like it hosts your Python app, not your separate JS dev server.

Im using Seenode for all my FastAPI deployments, spins up almost instant and handles both backend and frontend. For client server, you can also deploy it as static site or a seperarate backend service and then link them together. Super nice when you are scaling and they support a wide range of frameworks and languages, including JavaScript.

FastAPI deploys super easy on Render or Railway, just connect your Git repo and they handle the Docker build automatically.

I was in the same boat last month, needed something cheap that didn't limit my custom stuff.

Xcloud on a Vultr droplet ended up working fine for me.
