Deploy and Host evkescon on Railway

evkescon is a lightweight full-stack web application that enables users to access, manage, and interact with educational or event-based content. It is built with a React frontend and Node.js backend, using a MySQL database for structured data storage. The project emphasizes modularity, fast deployment, and simple database connectivity.

About Hosting evkescon

Hosting evkescon on Railway involves deploying a Node.js backend server connected to a managed MySQL database. The backend handles API requests, authentication, and database queries. The frontend (built in React) is hosted separately via Netlify but fetches data from the Railway-hosted backend. This architecture ensures better scalability, secure data handling, and independent deployment pipelines. Railway handles provisioning of your MySQL database, injects connection environment variables into your app, and supports one-click deploys from GitHub.
