## Documentation

# Deploy and Host lakeFS on Railway

lakeFS gives data lakes Git-like repositories, branches, commits, and merges while keeping object data in S3-compatible storage.

## About Hosting lakeFS

This template deploys lakeFS with a private PostgreSQL metadata database and a Railway Bucket blockstore. Generated administrator credentials are installed before the public revision starts, and persistent data stays outside the stateless lakeFS container.

## Why Deploy lakeFS on Railway?

Railway runs the API and UI, private database, persistent volume, object bucket, networking, generated secrets, and health checks as one graph. The result is a small-team lakeFS installation without maintaining a separate VM or MinIO service.

## Common Use Cases

- Create isolated data branches for ETL and analytics testing.
- Commit reproducible dataset versions for ML and batch pipelines.
- Promote reviewed object changes without copying an entire data lake.
- Give local tools and CI jobs an S3-compatible lakeFS gateway.

## Dependencies for lakeFS Hosting

### Deployment Dependencies

- lakeFS `1.84.1`
- PostgreSQL `17`
- Railway Bucket with an S3-compatible API
