## Documentation

# Deploy and Host Caardify on Railway

Caardify is a digital profile and NFC business card platform that lets individuals and teams create public, shareable profiles. Users can instantly share contact details, social links, and business information through NFC taps or profile URLs—no mobile app required.

---

## About Hosting Caardify

Hosting Caardify involves deploying a full-stack web application that includes a frontend for public profiles and dashboards, a backend API for user and card management, and a database for storing profile and analytics data. Railway simplifies this process by handling infrastructure provisioning, environment variables, scaling, and deployments. With Railway, Caardify can be deployed directly from a Git repository, automatically rebuilt on every push, and scaled as usage grows without managing servers manually.

---

## Common Use Cases

* Hosting public digital profiles for NFC business card users
* Managing company-wide employee profiles and smart cards
* Providing branded profile pages for events, sales teams, or agencies

---

## Dependencies for Caardify Hosting

* Node.js (for backend APIs and frontend builds)
* PostgreSQL or MongoDB (for user, profile, and analytics data)

### Deployment Dependencies

* Railway CLI: [https://docs.railway.app/develop/cli](https://docs.railway.app/develop/cli)
* Node.js: [https://nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org)
* PostgreSQL: [https://www.postgresql.org](https://www.postgresql.org)

---

### Implementation Details (Optional)

Caardify can be deployed using a standard Node.js service with environment variables configured in Railway:

```bash
railway login
railway init
railway up
```

Environment variables typically include database URLs, authentication secrets, and NFC profile base URLs.
