About Hosting Cachet

Hosting Cachet on Railway gives you a fully self-hosted status page with zero vendor lock-in. Cachet is built on modern Laravel 10 and Vue 3, making it fast, secure, and easy to maintain. Railway handles all the infrastructure complexity — server provisioning, networking, and scaling — so you can focus on keeping your users informed during incidents and outages. Your data stays on your own infrastructure, and you pay no SaaS subscription fees.

Common Use Cases

Incident Communication — Instantly notify customers about outages, degraded performance, or service disruptions to reduce support ticket volume.
Planned Maintenance Announcements — Schedule maintenance windows in advance so users are never caught off guard by downtime.
SaaS Uptime Transparency — Build customer trust by publicly displaying real-time system health metrics and historical uptime data.
Internal IT Status Dashboards — Keep internal teams and stakeholders informed about the status of critical infrastructure and services.
API & Monitoring Integration — Automate incident creation from tools like PagerDuty, UptimeRobot, Pingdom, or any custom monitoring stack via the JSON API.

Dependencies for Cachet Hosting

MySQL or PostgreSQL — Cachet requires a relational database to store incident history, components, and metrics.
Redis (optional) — Recommended for caching and queue processing to improve performance at scale.

Deployment Dependencies
