Deploy and Host Fedis on Railway

Fedis is a fast Redis-compatible server written in Rust. It supports common Redis commands, optional password authentication, append-only file (AOF) persistence, periodic snapshots, and a Prometheus-style metrics endpoint. Fedis is a lightweight drop-in cache or state layer for apps that want Redis-like behavior with a focused, self-hosted runtime.

About Hosting Fedis

Hosting Fedis on Railway is straightforward: run the container, expose port 6379, and configure persistence and auth with environment variables. For production usage, attach a persistent volume and set FEDIS_DATA_PATH (or FEDIS_AOF_PATH) so data survives restarts and deploys. You can secure access by setting FEDIS_PASSWORD (and optional FEDIS_USERNAME/FEDIS_USERS), then connect from your app using standard Redis clients. If you need observability, enable the metrics endpoint with FEDIS_METRICS_ADDR and scrape it from your monitoring stack. The result is a managed, Redis-compatible service with minimal operational overhead.

Common Use Cases

Session and API response caching for web backends
Lightweight queues, counters, and ephemeral state storage
Local development or internal environments that need Redis protocol compatibility

Dependencies for Fedis Hosting

A persistent Railway volume for durable AOF/snapshot data
Client/application connectivity using a Redis-compatible client library
