Question 1

How do I deploy this FARM stack to a cloud provider?

Accepted Answer

The deployment guide covers production setup with Docker and Traefik, including environment variable configuration for services like MongoDB and automatic HTTPS via Let's Encrypt.

Question 2

Can I switch from MongoDB to PostgreSQL in this generator?

Accepted Answer

No, this fork is specifically designed for MongoDB; switching would require major backend changes, as it uses Motor and ODMantic instead of SQL-based ORMs.

Question 3

FARM stack vs MERN stack: which should I choose?

Accepted Answer

FARM uses FastAPI (Python) for async backend performance and automatic docs, while MERN uses Node.js/Express; choose based on team language preference and API documentation needs.

Question 4

How to add custom API endpoints in the FastAPI backend?

Accepted Answer

Extend the existing router patterns in the generated code, following the CRUD models and using FastAPI's decorators, with examples in the backend structure.

Question 5

Does this support server-side rendering with Next.js?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the frontend uses Next.js which supports SSR, and the stack includes route-based authorization for protecting pages dynamically.

Question 6

How does magic link authentication work in this setup?

Accepted Answer

The system sends a token via email for login, handled by backend APIs with JWT and cookie management, as outlined in the authentication guide for secure, passwordless access.
