App Engine templates

App Engine templates are curated app shapes for agents, SDKs, and the UI. They do not replace your project code. They provide Dockerfile, Compose, command, port, environment, persistence, and design-context defaults before a sandbox or repository is published.

Template	Best for	Runtime
Next.js App	SaaS portals, dashboards, client apps	Node
Next.js Funnel / Landing Page	funnels, lead magnets, campaign sites	Node
Vite React SPA	static React apps, calculators, widgets	Nginx
Express / Node API	webhooks, integrations, lightweight APIs	Node
FastAPI Service	Python APIs, AI helper services, data tools	Python
Static HTML Site	documents, one-page tools, static downloads	Nginx
Compose Full-Stack App	web + API + worker + Postgres + Redis on one host	Docker Compose

Template metadata is returned by:

GET /api/v1/docker-deploy/templates
GET /api/v1/docker-deploy/templates/:id

Use a template id as metadata when creating a deployment so the deployment center can show the intended build shape and recover the defaults later:

{
  "deployment_product": "docker_deploy",
  "metadata": {
    "docker_deploy_template_id": "compose-full-stack"
  }
}
