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-landing-zone
Infrastructure-as-code template, deployed with Azure Developer CLI, that provisions a Zero-Trust network foundation on Azure for agent applications running on Microsoft Foundry. It can deploy the full stack with a default UI, orchestrator and optional ingestion component, infrastructure only, or a custom app on the same foundation. It is the renamed GPT-RAG project.
Who it is for: Platform teams deploying secure agent apps on Azure
Strengths
- Three deploy paths: full stack, infrastructure only, or your own application
- Zero-Trust network architecture with IaC-first deployment via azd
- Component versions pinned in manifest.json for each release
- Default UI, orchestrator and ingestion live in separate repos, so they can be swapped
Weaknesses
- Azure-only; requires Microsoft Foundry and an Azure subscription
- README is a landing page; setup details live on an external docs site
- No Docker or compose setup for local runs
- Sizing, cost and RAM requirements are unknown from the README
- Python, Azure OpenAI
- Needs Azure subscription, Microsoft Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, Azure Developer CLI
- GitHub template
