Deploy and Host Calendar Sync on Railway

Calendar Sync is a production-ready web app that mirrors events between Google Calendars in one-way or two-way mode. It supports real-time webhook syncing, filtering by keywords/colors, configurable event-copy behavior (title, description, location, RSVP, privacy), and safe backfill controls to keep calendars aligned without manual copying.

About Hosting Calendar Sync

Hosting Calendar Sync on Railway involves deploying the Node.js service, attaching a PostgreSQL database, and configuring Google OAuth + Calendar API credentials. Railway handles build, deploy, networking, and runtime management, while the app manages OAuth sessions, webhook subscriptions, and background sync logic. You’ll set environment variables for Google auth, app secrets, and public callback URLs, then authorize redirect URIs in Google Cloud. Once deployed, users can connect Google accounts, create sync rules, and run real-time updates with quota-aware retries and failure safeguards. Railway makes this straightforward with managed infrastructure and a single platform for app + database.

Common Use Cases

Keep a personal calendar and work calendar continuously synchronized.
Mirror an executive/team calendar to an operations calendar with filters.
Share availability safely by syncing only selected event fields (for example private/busy rules).

Dependencies for Calendar Sync Hosting

A Google Cloud project with Google Calendar API enabled and OAuth 2.0 credentials.
A PostgreSQL database (Railway-managed Postgres recommended).
