Private Connection Strapi and Express and Postgres

Can anyone help me setup my Services, so they they communicate over the private Networks, while strapi is accessible via both?

I have a Strapi CMS

An express Server to fetch Data

Python FastApi engine for data aggregation

Next.js Webapp

I want all Services communicate over the Private connection except the connection between next.js and strapi (Alternatively I can host my next app on railway and also use the Private connection, as I dont have direct Client side requests to strapi.

Hi there, you can set up as follows:

  • Your express server as one service

  • Your python fastapi as one service

  • Your next.js as one service.

Is the strapi cms outside of railway?

I am not sure I fully understand your usecase.

i currently have my Strapi, Express, Postgres as a service inside railway ( Excluded the python engine for a start)

Next.js is currently hosted on Vercel.

I attached a sketch of the desired architecture

What region is the Nextjs on Vercel deployed on?

You can deploy the Nextjs as a service here on Railway and deploy it in the same region as the other services.

Don't think the problem is Next.js

Maybe strapi can't handle 500 RPS

Okay, maybe you can install this Next.js template in your project and run the experiment of connecting it with your strapi and measure the response time.

Then you can compare with what you got from connecting it to your next.js app on Vercel.
