## Documentation

# Deploy and Host AEX Run on Railway

  AEX Run is an AI-First, self-hosted, single-tenant ERP. Users interact entirely via chat to manage dynamic database schemas, execute business operations, send emails through SMTP, and run workflow automations. Fully customizable per
  business niche, from retail to manufacturing.

  ## About Hosting AEX Run

  AEX Run requires a PostgreSQL database for persistent storage, Redis for background job queues (email sending, workflow execution), and two application services. The API handles authentication, tRPC endpoints, AI agent processing, and
  SMTP email delivery. The Web frontend is a React SPA served through Caddy, which also reverse proxies API requests over the internal network. On first deploy, database migrations run automatically and the setup wizard guides you through
  organization, email, and AI provider configuration.

  ## Common Use Cases

  - Small and medium businesses looking for a self-hosted ERP they can customize through natural language chat
  - Companies that need a single platform combining CRM, inventory, invoicing, HR, and project management without vendor lock-in
  - Teams that want AI-driven automation for business workflows like lead capture, order processing, and financial tracking

  ## Dependencies for AEX Run Hosting

  - PostgreSQL 17 for data storage, authentication, and dynamic entity schemas
  - Redis 7 for BullMQ background job processing (email delivery, workflow execution, data sync)

  ### Deployment Dependencies

  - [AEX Run GitHub Repository](https://github.com/aex-partners/run)
  - [Drizzle ORM](https://orm.drizzle.team) for database migrations
  - [Better Auth](https://www.better-auth.com) for authentication
  - [Nodemailer](https://nodemailer.com) for SMTP email sending
