full-stack-fastapi-template
A GitHub template for a full-stack web app: a FastAPI backend using SQLModel and PostgreSQL, and a React/TypeScript frontend built with Vite, Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui. The frontend is built into the backend and served on the same domain as the API. It includes JWT login, email password recovery, and Docker Compose with Traefik for self-hosting. It has no AI features built in.
Who it is for: Python developers starting a FastAPI and React web app
Strengths
- Auto-generated frontend client for the FastAPI API
- Pytest backend tests and Playwright end-to-end tests, with GitHub Actions CI/CD
- Docker Compose with Traefik gives automatic HTTPS for self-hosting
- Mailpit for local email testing and React Email templates
Weaknesses
- No AI or model integration; it is a generic app scaffold
- No billing or payments wired in
- Authentication is JWT with email recovery only; no OAuth or social login listed
- PostgreSQL only; other databases are not mentioned
- TypeScript
- Needs PostgreSQL, Docker Compose, Traefik, Mailpit
- GitHub template
- ⚠️ .env file committed
agent-service-toolkit
Python service where LangGraph v1 agents (interrupt, Command, Store) are served by FastAPI with streaming and non-streaming endpoints, AG-UI support, per-agent URL paths, /threads history and a Postgres checkpointer via docker compose. Includes an AgentClient, a Streamlit chat UI with voice, LangSmith feedback, Groq moderation, a ChromaDB RAG agent, unit, integration and smoke tests. Needs at least one LLM API key.
Who it is for: Python teams serving LangGraph agents over an API
Strengths
- AG-UI endpoint for CopilotKit-style frontends alongside the REST API
- docker compose watch runs Postgres, API and Streamlit with live reload
- Unit and integration tests plus smoke tests for Postgres, Mongo, AG-UI and Langfuse
- Hosted demo on Streamlit Cloud
Weaknesses
- Solo maintainer; issues triaged roughly biweekly
- Streamlit client is a demo UI, not a product frontend
- Content moderation needs a Groq API key
- Tests only run outside Docker
- Python, LangChain providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Ollama, VertexAI, vLLM/SGLang, AG-UI protocol
- Needs LLM API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, Ollama or others), PostgreSQL (compose), LangSmith (optional), ChromaDB (RAG agent)
- GitHub template
- Docker
- env example file
