Railway Deployment Guide

Deploy backend services from Git and manage env variables, health checks, and rollback points.

TL;DR

  • Create a Railway project and connect your repository
  • Use auto-detected or custom build/start commands
  • Set env variables and health-check path before verification

1Connect project

  • Create New Project in Railway dashboard
  • Connect GitHub repository and create a service
  • Validate dependency install/start commands in build logs

2Environment variables and health checks

Variables
DATABASE_URL=...
JWT_SECRET=...
APP_ENV=production

Health check recommendation

Use a fixed endpoint like /health for stable deployment verification.

3Incident response

  • Inspect logs from latest deployment
  • Re-check missing or mistyped environment keys
  • Rollback to the last known good deployment

TL;DR

  • Use this section as a quick baseline for Railway deployment.
  • Replace branch names, secrets, URLs, and thresholds with your team-specific values.

Prerequisites

  • Confirm repository and runtime access permissions.
  • Verify baseline commands (`install`, `build`, `test`) for local/CI.
  • Ensure environment variables, secrets, and deployment targets are up to date.

Steps

  1. Lock the change goal and scope in one sentence.
  2. Apply the core Railway deployment changes in minimal commits.
  3. Capture validation logs and immediately update checklist/docs.

Validation

  • Confirm build/test pass reproducibly on the current branch.
  • Run manual sample checks on critical user/operation flows.
  • Cross-check ko/en docs and links for intent consistency.

Troubleshooting

  • Capture logs, request payloads, and environment values first on failures.
  • Narrow down by permissions, env vars, routing, and build artifacts.
  • Record temporary mitigation and root-cause fix separately.
