Deploy and Host 9Router on Railway

9Router is a self-hosted AI gateway and LLM router that helps developers connect Claude, Codex, Cursor, OpenAI-compatible tools, and multiple AI providers through a single unified endpoint. It is useful for managing model access, routing requests, switching providers, and simplifying AI development workflows from one central dashboard.

About Hosting 9Router

Hosting 9Router on Railway gives you a simple way to run your own AI routing gateway without managing servers manually. With this template, users only need to provide an Initial Password before clicking deploy. Railway handles the deployment process, service hosting, networking, and persistent runtime environment. Once deployed, 9Router can be used as a centralized AI gateway for developer tools, coding assistants, API clients, and OpenAI-compatible integrations. It helps reduce provider lock-in by allowing users to manage multiple AI models and routing behavior from a single self-hosted interface.
