# Deploy a starter app in one click

Templates in this category deploy minimal starter apps in one click. Node.js, FastAPI, Flask, Django, Laravel, and Spring Boot all have starters, plus Caddy for serving and Telegram bot scaffolds in Python and TypeScript.

A starter gives you a running deployment in minutes that you can point at your own code. Everything runs on always-on servers with usage based pricing and a free trial.

## Common questions about Starter templates

### How do I deploy a FastAPI app?

Deploy the FastAPI starter and you get a running Python API in a couple of minutes. Swap in your own code and Railway rebuilds and redeploys on every push.

### Which frameworks have starters?

Node.js, FastAPI, Flask, Django, Laravel, and Spring Boot are the most deployed, and more are in the full list on this page. Each ships with sensible defaults and preconfigured variables.

### Can I add a database to a starter?

Yes. Add Postgres, MySQL, Redis, or MongoDB to the same project and wire the connection with reference variables. The databases are one-click templates themselves.

### Do starters work for production apps?

Yes. A starter is a normal Railway service, so it scales vertically, supports custom domains, and runs on the same always-on infrastructure as everything else.
