Deploy and Host Drizzle Studio (Gateway) on Railway

What is Drizzle Studio (Gateway)?
Drizzle Studio (Gateway) is a self-hosted, browser-based interface for exploring and managing your database schema using the Drizzle ORM ecosystem. It acts as a gateway between your database and Drizzle Studio’s frontend, enabling secure connections, schema introspection, and query execution directly from your own infrastructure instead of relying on a public service.

About Hosting Drizzle Studio (Gateway)

Hosting Drizzle Studio (Gateway) means deploying a small React.js/Node.js service that exposes the Drizzle Studio UI connected to your database. This service communicates securely with your database, making it accessible only via your Railway environment (or with controlled public access). You’ll need to configure environment variables such as database credentials and Drizzle schema paths.

With this Railway deployment template, you get:

An admin (master) password for full unrestricted access.
Ability to set separate user passwords with limited access.
Multiple database connections in a single instance.
Persistent storage for configurations and session data.

Once deployed, you can use Drizzle Studio in your browser to explore, query, and modify your database, all within a private, self-controlled environment. Railway’s hosting takes care of deployment, scaling, and uptime so you can focus on database management without local setups.

Common Use Cases

Visualizing and editing database schema.
Running SQL queries and inspecting results without leaving your browser.
Providing a secure, team-accessible environment for database management in staging or production.

Dependencies for Drizzle Studio (Gateway) Hosting

Node.js 18+ — Required runtime for the Drizzle Studio gateway service.
Database connection — PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite or Turso and many more to come
