Deploy and Host 🦖 Deno 2 & Deno KV on Railway

A production-ready starter template showcasing Deno KV with a web interface. Since Railway's default runtime doesn't support Deno 2 yet, this template uses a custom Docker configuration to ensure full compatibility.

About Hosting 🦖 Deno 2 Starter

Simple starter template with some example code for common use cases.

• 🌐 Web Interface: Simple HTTP server with HTML and JSON endpoints
• 🗄️ Deno KV Storage: Deno's built-in persistent key-value store based on SQLite in folder /db.
• 🚂 Railway Ready: Configured for deployment without dev files

Common Use Cases

All apps profit from a modern JavaScript runtime with a built-in database and tooling. Deno KV is especially valuable for token, sessions, and other small data, but can work equally well for any document store.

How to start using the source code

To start making changes to the source code you need to eject the template to use it on your own GitHub repository:

1. In the service settings, under Source, find the Upstream Repo setting
2. Click the Eject button
3. Select the appropriate GitHub organization to create the new repository
4. Click Eject service

Dependencies for 🦖 Deno 2 Starter Hosting

Deployment Dependencies

• Deno version can be set via Railway variables

Implementation Details

The template is configured for persistent data storage using volumes (Railway deploys on /app).

It also contains a .dockerignore file to exclude files not needed on production.

The GitHub devcontainer is pre-configured for CodeSpaces.
