## Documentation

# Deploy and Host GreptimeDB on Railway

## About Hosting GreptimeDB

GreptimeDB is an Apache-2.0 time-series database for metrics, logs, and traces. This template runs the official 1.1.4 standalone image with its embedded query dashboard, native authentication, and a persistent 5 GB volume.

## Why Deploy GreptimeDB on Railway

One click creates a generated credential, durable storage, a health check, and a public authenticated HTTP endpoint without exposing the database's native protocol ports. The compact single-node shape suits evaluation and small observability workloads.

## Common Use Cases

- Store and query application metrics through Prometheus remote write.
- Ingest OpenTelemetry metrics, logs, and traces over HTTP.
- Explore time-series data with SQL, PromQL, or the embedded dashboard.

## Dependencies for GreptimeDB Hosting

The template uses the immutable official GreptimeDB 1.1.4 image and one Railway volume. Clients must support GreptimeDB's Basic-authenticated HTTP APIs.

### Deployment Dependencies

- [GreptimeDB](https://greptime.com) provides the database, protocol endpoints, and dashboard.
- [Railway](https://railway.com) provides networking, generated credentials, health checks, and persistent storage.
