I've been working on a FastAPI application to automate some tasks and it's running smoothly on my local machine. However, I'm having a tough time integrating it with Node.js for deployment. Can anyone help me figure out why it's not working? Also, I'm looking for the best methods to deploy FastAPI on a server. Since I'm quite new to FastAPI, any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure what's the absolute best way to deploy, but I usually pack my FastAPI app in a Docker container and deploy it to our Kubernetes cluster. Starting with getting it to run as a Docker container is crucial! As for Node.js, I'm not the best at frontend stuff, so I can't help there.
Start by creating a Dockerfile for your FastAPI app. It's typically a good idea to use Docker Compose for local deployment. Once you've got the container running locally, you can then explore deploying it on a cloud platform!
Remember, FastAPI is a Python framework and Node.js is JavaScript; they’re quite different. Containerizing your FastAPI app is key! After that, deployment will depend on your specific environment, but at least you'll have a good starting point.
Thanks, that gives me a clearer direction!
