Deploy and Host HappyView on Railway
HappyView is a lexicon-driven ATProto AppView. Upload lexicon definitions at runtime and HappyView dynamically generates XRPC query and procedure endpoints, indexes records from the network, and proxies writes to users' PDSes. This Railway template uses PostgreSQL for production use.
About Hosting HappyView
HappyView can use either SQLite or PostgreSQL for its database. This template deploys HappyView and PostgreSQL pre-configured. PostgreSQL is the recommended backend for large, production deployments.
If you'd prefer to use SQLite, check out the HappyView w/ SQLite template.
Common Use Cases
- Building custom ATProto applications with their own record types, queries, and procedures
- Indexing and querying AT Protocol records without running a full relay
- Hosting a production backend for ATProto clients that need OAuth and record management
Dependencies for HappyView Hosting
- PostgreSQL 17+
