- Set up Railway: Create project, connect repository
- Configure environment: Add all production variables to Railway
- Set up database: Connect to your production database (not the builder's)
- Configure domain: Point DNS to Railway, enable HTTPS
- Update callbacks: Update OAuth redirects and webhook URLs
- Test thoroughly: Run all core flows on the new deployment
- Switch traffic: Only after testing, point your domain
- Add monitoring: Set up error tracking and uptime alerts
Cost Estimate
Deploying to Railway typically costs $5-20/mo for production workloads.
Common Issues
- OAuth callbacks still pointing to builder URLs
- Webhook endpoints not updated to new domain
- Database connection strings using preview credentials
- Missing environment variables causing runtime errors
