Deploy and Host Fizzy on Railway

The Kanban tracking tool for issues and ideas by 37signals.

About Hosting Fizzy

Fizzy is a self-hosted Rails application that uses SQLite for data storage and Solid Queue for background job processing. Deploying on Railway requires configuring persistent storage for SQLite databases, setting up SMTP for passwordless authentication via magic links, and configuring environment variables for security. The application runs in a container with background job processing handled by Solid Queue inside the Puma web server. Once configured, Fizzy provides a collaborative kanban board system for teams to track cards, manage workflow columns, and organize work with automatic card postponement based on inactivity.

Common Use Cases

Small to medium-sized teams needing a lightweight, self-hosted project management tool without database server overhead
Organizations requiring passwordless authentication and email-based access control for secure team collaboration
Development teams tracking bugs, features, and ideas across multiple boards with customizable workflow stages
Remote teams needing real-time collaboration features like comments, mentions, assignments, and activity timelines
