Deploy and Host Alita_Robot on Railway

Alita Robot is a high-performance Telegram group management bot built with Go and gotgbot. It provides comprehensive moderation tools including user management, anti-spam protection, CAPTCHA verification, content filtering, custom greetings, and multi-language support—engineered for speed and reliability at scale.

About Hosting Alita_Robot

Deploying Alita Robot requires a PostgreSQL database for persistent storage and Redis for distributed caching. The bot supports two operation modes: polling (simpler, suitable for development) and webhook (real-time, production-ready). Railway's one-click deployment auto-provisions both database services and configures health checks automatically. The bot features automatic database migrations on startup, connection pooling, dual-layer caching with stampede protection, and built-in Prometheus metrics. Configuration is handled entirely through environment variables, with sensible defaults for most settings.

Common Use Cases

Telegram Community Management: Automate moderation tasks like banning spammers, enforcing chat rules, and managing member permissions across multiple groups
Anti-Spam Protection: Deploy CAPTCHA challenges for new members, detect flood attacks, and filter unwanted content with regex pattern matching
Multi-Language Support: Serve international communities with 24+ supported languages and customizable welcome/goodbye messages
Group Activity Monitoring: Track active groups, auto-cleanup inactive chats, and maintain healthy community engagement metrics

Dependencies for Alita_Robot Hosting

PostgreSQL 14+: Primary database for storing user data, chat settings, filters, warns, and all persistent state
