# Deploy and Host Airboost on Railway

**Airboost** is an open-source high-performance cache service that makes your Airtable API 240x faster with zero-downtime updates, reducing latency by 99.4% and eliminating rate limits through intelligent SQLite caching.

## About Hosting Airboost

Hosting Airboost on Railway provides enterprise-grade performance for your Airtable data with minimal configuration. The service uses a dual-database strategy for seamless cache updates, automatically syncs your Airtable data, handles file attachments with deduplication, and serves cached data through a high-performance REST API. Railway's persistent storage ensures your SQLite databases and attachment files are preserved across deployments, while the platform's auto-scaling capabilities handle traffic spikes efficiently.

## Common Use Cases

- **High-Traffic Applications** - Serve Airtable data to thousands of users without hitting API rate limits
- **Real-time Dashboards** - Power fast-loading business intelligence dashboards with sub-millisecond response times
- **Mobile Apps** - Provide offline-capable data access with intelligent background synchronization
- **E-commerce Platforms** - Cache product catalogs and inventory data for instant user experiences

## Dependencies for Airboost Hosting

- **Airtable Personal Access Token** - Required for API authentication and data synchronization
- **Airtable Base ID** - The specific base containing your data to cache
- **Bearer Token** - Custom API token for securing your Airboost endpoints
- **Persistent Storage** - For SQLite databases and attachment files

### Deployment Dependencies

- [Airtable Personal Access Token Setup](https://airtable.com/create/tokens)
- [Airtable Base ID Documentation](https://airtable.com/developers/web/api/introduction)

### Implementation Details

```bash
# Environment variables required
AIRTABLE_PERSONAL_TOKEN=pat_your_token_here
AIRTABLE_BASE_ID=app_your_base_id
BEARER_TOKEN=your_secure_api_token
PORT=3000
REFRESH_INTERVAL=86400
```

The service automatically creates SQLite databases, indexes data for optimal performance, and provides REST endpoints at `/api/tables/:table` for cached data access.
