FastAPI Deployment with Docker and CI/CD

FastAPI Deployment with Docker and CI/CD is a practical guide for Python and FastAPI developers who want to move beyond local development and deploy production-ready APIs with confidence.

Using a realistic project called DeployBoard API, the book walks through the complete deployment lifecycle: preparing FastAPI for production, containerizing applications with Docker, working with PostgreSQL and Docker Compose, automating tests, building CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, publishing immutable container images, and deploying to cloud platforms such as Google Cloud Run, Amazon ECS with Fargate, Azure Container Apps, and Linux virtual machines.

You will learn how to manage production configuration and secrets, design health checks, handle Alembic migrations safely, optimize Docker images, enforce quality gates, protect deployment workflows, configure HTTPS and reverse proxies, apply container security, monitor applications, scale responsibly, and plan for rollback and recovery.

Rather than presenting Docker, testing, CI/CD, cloud hosting, and operations as separate topics, this book connects them into one practical production workflow.

It is designed for developers who already understand FastAPI and want to learn how to ship and operate APIs professionally. No advanced DevOps experience is required.

Code → Test → Containerize → Publish → Deploy → Monitor → Recover

Move beyond "it works on my machine" and build FastAPI applications that are ready for real production environments.
