# Devin + Railway

Devin is Cognition's autonomous AI software engineer that can independently plan, code, debug, and deploy entire projects. It has access to a full development environment including browser and terminal, making it capable of complete Railway deployments.

## Quick start

1. **Access Devin** — Get access to Devin from Cognition

   ```
   https://devin.ai
   ```

2. **Connect GitHub & Railway** — Link your GitHub account and enable Railway autodeploys at railway.com/new

3. **Give Devin a task** — Devin autonomously creates your full-stack app, pushes to GitHub, and Railway auto-deploys

   ```
   Build and deploy a complete SaaS boilerplate with auth, payments, and database
   ```

4. **Watch the magic happen** — Devin deploys frontend + backend + Postgres + Redis: a complete production stack on Railway

## MCP configuration

Connect Devin to Railway with the remote MCP server. OAuth in the browser — no API keys to manage.

Setup guide: https://docs.railway.com/ai/remote-mcp-server#devin

## Railway integrations

- GitHub Autodeploys: https://docs.railway.com/guides/github-autodeploys

## Example prompts

- "Deploy this repo to Railway and give me the URL"
- "Add Postgres and Redis to my project"
- "Set up staging and production environments with promotion workflow"
- "Configure auto-scaling based on CPU and memory thresholds"
- "Add Sentry error tracking and connect it to my Railway service"
- "Set up database migrations to run automatically before each deploy"
- "Build and deploy a complete SaaS with auth, billing, and database on Railway"
- "Deploy a backend-as-a-service stack with Postgres, Auth, and S3-compatible storage"
- "Set up a data pipeline with Airbyte, Postgres, and dbt for analytics"
- "Create a multi-tenant architecture with isolated databases per customer"

## Common workflows

### Deploy a Valkey cache

- Ask Devin to add Valkey to your project
- Devin creates the Valkey service autonomously
- Devin retrieves and sets VALKEY_URL
- Devin updates your code to use the cache

### Autonomous deployment

- Give Devin a deployment task
- Devin sets up Railway project
- Devin configures and deploys autonomously
- Devin monitors and fixes any issues

### Full-stack setup

- Ask Devin to set up your entire stack
- Devin creates frontend and backend services
- Devin configures databases and caching
- Devin deploys and verifies everything works

### Self-healing deployment

- Ask Devin to deploy and monitor
- Devin deploys the application
- Devin watches for errors in logs
- Devin automatically fixes and redeploys

## Tips for success

- Devin works best with GitHub autodeploys enabled
- Let Devin handle the full deployment pipeline
- Devin can browse Railway docs to solve problems

## Frequently asked questions

### Can Devin handle the entire Railway deployment process?

Yes! Devin can autonomously create projects, configure services, set up databases, deploy, monitor logs, and fix issues, all without intervention.

### How does Devin work with Railway's GitHub integration?

Devin pushes code to GitHub and Railway auto-deploys. Devin monitors the deployment, checks logs, and automatically fixes any issues that arise.

### Can Devin set up a complete production stack on Railway?

Yes! Give Devin a task and it will set up frontend, backend, databases, Redis caching, environment variables, and custom domains automatically.

## Troubleshooting

**Issue:** Devin can't access Railway dashboard

**Solution:** Ensure Railway account credentials are available to Devin. Consider using Railway CLI instead for programmatic access.

**Issue:** GitHub autodeploys not triggering from Devin's commits

**Solution:** Verify the Railway project is connected to the correct GitHub repository and branch in Railway dashboard settings.

**Issue:** Devin creates incorrect Railway configuration

**Solution:** Provide Devin with Railway documentation links and examples. Be specific about your app's runtime and requirements.
