Railway Deploy

Deploy apps to Railway with zero config. Set up databases, Redis, cron jobs, autoscaling, and custom domains with Railway's git-push deploys, Nixpacks builds, and per-environment variables.

This skill helps you deploy and manage applications on Railway. It configures Nixpacks builds, provisions Postgres/MySQL/Redis/MongoDB services, sets up private networking between services, manages environment variables per environment, and configures custom domains, health checks, and autoscaling.

When to use

Use when deploying web apps, APIs, or workers to Railway, setting up managed databases alongside your app, or when you want Heroku-like simplicity with modern infrastructure and git-push deploys.

Examples

Deploy with Postgres

Deploy an app with a managed database

Set up a Railway project with my Node.js API and a Postgres database, configure the DATABASE_URL environment variable, and set up a custom domain

Multi-service setup

Deploy interconnected services

Configure a Railway project with a Next.js frontend, Express API, Redis cache, and worker service with private networking between them
