Deploy and Host Drizzle Studio on Railway

Drizzle Studio is a powerful visual database browser and editor that provides an intuitive web interface for managing your database schemas, running queries, and exploring data. It's the official GUI companion for Drizzle ORM, offering real-time database interaction with support for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite databases.

About Hosting Drizzle Studio

Hosting Drizzle Studio involves deploying a web-based database management interface that connects to your databases securely. This template uses Docker containerization to ensure consistent deployment across environments, includes persistent volume storage to maintain your database connections and query history, and provides password-protected access to keep your data secure. The deployment automatically configures the necessary environment variables and storage requirements for a production-ready database management solution.

Common Use Cases

• Database Administration: Manage multiple database schemas, tables, and relationships through an intuitive visual interface
• Development Workflows: Execute and debug SQL queries, inspect data, and prototype database changes during development
• Team Collaboration: Provide team members with secure, web-based access to shared databases without requiring local setup

Dependencies for Drizzle Studio Hosting

• Docker Runtime: Railway's container platform for running the Drizzle Studio Docker image
• Persistent Storage: Railway volumes for maintaining database connections and application state across deployments

Deployment Dependencies

• Drizzle Gateway Docker Image - Official containerized version of Drizzle Studio
• Railway Platform - Cloud deployment platform with volume support
• Database Connections - Compatible with PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite databases

Implementation Details

The template uses the official Drizzle Gateway Docker image with the following key configurations:

# Persistent storage configuration
ENV STORE_PATH=/app

Security Setup: The template includes password protection via the MASTERPASS environment variable, which must be changed from the default value during deployment.

Storage Persistence: All database connections, query history, and user preferences are stored in a Railway volume that persists across deployments and application restarts.
