Deploy and Host create-bun-stack on Railway

create-bun-stack is a full-stack application starter powered by Bun, offering a batteries-included developer experience inspired by the Rails philosophy. It emphasizes local-first simplicity, modern JavaScript tooling, and zero-config developer workflows—shipping with TypeScript, SQLite, file-based routing, environment handling, and built-in auth.

About Hosting create-bun-stack

Hosting create-bun-stack on Railway enables instant provisioning of the full stack—server, database, and environment—all from a single deploy. The stack is optimized for fast startup, local development parity, and deploys cleanly to Railway without needing Docker, external Redis, or Postgres. It supports SQLite in production using Railway’s persistent storage volumes or can be trivially adapted for Postgres with a single .env switch. Built with minimal moving parts, create-bun-stack abstracts infrastructure complexity so developers can ship fast with modern primitives.

Common Use Cases

  • Prototyping full-stack applications with modern tooling
  • Shipping lightweight SaaS or internal tools with minimal infra
  • Building local-first apps that degrade gracefully offline

Dependencies for create-bun-stack Hosting

  • Bun Runtime (v1.1+)

Deployment Dependencies

Implementation Details

To persist SQLite across deploys on Railway, ensure the following volume is mounted in railway.json:

{
  "mounts": [
    {
      "source": "sqlite-data",
      "destination": "/data"
    }
  ]
}

Then in .env:

DATABASE_PATH=/data/db.sqlite

Update your Bun config or app/config.ts to reflect this path.

Why Deploy create-bun-stack on Railway?

Railway is a singular platform to deploy your infrastructure stack. Railway will host your infrastructure so you don't have to deal with configuration, while allowing you to vertically and horizontally scale it.

By deploying create-bun-stack on Railway, you are one step closer to supporting a complete full-stack application with minimal burden. Host your servers, databases, AI agents, and more on Railway.
