Deploy and Host Hasura on Railway

What is Hasura?

Hasura is a high-performance GraphQL engine that instantly exposes realtime GraphQL and REST APIs on top of PostgreSQL. It comes with fine-grained access control, event triggers (webhooks), actions, and remote schemas—making backend development brutally fast without sacrificing control.

About Hosting Hasura

Deploying Hasura on Railway allows you to run a production-ready GraphQL backend with minimal setup using PostgreSQL as the primary database. Railway handles infrastructure, scaling, and networking, while Hasura connects directly to PostgreSQL and automatically generates realtime GraphQL and REST APIs. You can easily configure environment variables for database connections, enable JWT-based authentication, set up event triggers, and integrate external services. This setup is ideal for teams that want speed, reliability, and flexibility without managing servers.

Common Use Cases

Build realtime apps (chat, dashboards, notifications)
Instantly create APIs for web and mobile applications
Trigger webhooks on database insert/update/delete events
Implement fine‑grained authorization with roles and permissions
Rapid backend prototyping and MVP development

Why Deploy Hasura on Railway?

Railway makes deploying Hasura stupidly simple. You get fast cold starts, easy environment management, built‑in observability, and effortless scaling. Combine that with Hasura’s instant GraphQL, realtime subscriptions, and event triggers, and you have a backend that would normally take weeks—done in minutes. Less boilerplate, more shipping. Simple as that.
