Railway Integration

Setup in 4 steps

  1. 1Install Railway CLI and run `railway init`
  2. 2Add Postgres and Redis services from Railway dashboard
  3. 3Copy .env.example to Railway environment variables
  4. 4Run `railway up` — the included Dockerfile handles the rest

What's included

  • Production Dockerfile included with multi-stage build
  • Health check endpoint at /healthz for Railway's health system
  • Alembic migrations run automatically on startup
  • Celery workers deployable as separate Railway services
  • Environment variable guide with all required secrets documented
