About Hosting kan.bn

Hosting kan.bn involves deploying a full-stack Next.js application with database integration and authentication services. The deployment requires setting up environment variables for database connections, authentication providers (GitHub, Google, email), and application secrets. Railway's platform automatically handles the build process using pnpm, configures the production environment, and manages scaling requirements. The application uses server-side rendering capabilities and requires persistent storage for user data, boards, and task information.
