Deploy and Host Incident Response Agent on Railway

Incident Response Agent is an AI-powered incident response and log analysis service for Railway. It monitors your Railway services, detects issues from logs, analyzes them with LLMs, and posts actionable Slack alerts with recommended remediations. For more detailed setup guide, visit this [guide](https://github.com/tessera-ai/Incident Response Agent-template/blob/main/RAILWAY_TEMPLATE.md) for a section walkthrough.

About Hosting Incident Response Agent

This template deploys a Phoenix/Elixir service with an attached Postgres database on Railway. It streams Railway logs, processes incidents with OpenAI (optionally Anthropic), and integrates with Slack for alerts and remediation updates. Required env vars are limited to secrets (OpenAI, Slack, Railway API token, secret key base); Railway injects runtime metadata and database URL. Optional monitoring lists and tuning flags can be left unset—the code supplies sane defaults.

Common Use Cases

Real-time incident detection from Railway logs with AI summaries.
Slack alerting and remediation updates for service outages.
Monitoring multiple Railway projects/environments from one agent.

Dependencies for Incident Response Agent Hosting

Railway Postgres addon (DATABASE_URL is auto-injected).
Secrets: SECRET_KEY_BASE, RAILWAY_API_TOKEN, OPENAI_API_KEY, SLACK_BOT_TOKEN, SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET, SLACK_CHANNEL_ID.

Deployment Dependencies

Railway Postgres addon attached to the service.
Railway API token with project/environment read permissions.
Slack app with chat:write, channels:read, users:read scopes; bot token, signing secret, and target channel ID.

Implementation Details (Optional)

Phoenix/Elixir app; release command runs RailwayApp.Release.migrate then starts the server.
Defaults: PHX_SERVER=true, MIX_ENV=prod; PHX_HOST falls back to RAILWAY_PUBLIC_DOMAIN.
Optional monitoring config: RAILWAY_MONITORED_PROJECTS, RAILWAY_MONITORED_ENVIRONMENTS, RAILWAY_MONITORED_SERVICES.
Optional tuning vars (RAILWAY_POLLING_INTERVAL, retries/backoff, rate limits, batch settings, endpoints) have safe code defaults.
