## Documentation

# Deploy and Host Laravel AI SDK Starter on Railway

Laravel AI SDK Starter is a Laravel 13 starter that wires the AI SDK into a working demo agent, backed by Postgres and a /api/health healthcheck. Set one provider key — OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini — and the demo calls a real model; without a key it still runs and shows the fallback behaviour.

## About Hosting Laravel AI SDK Starter

Deploying this template on Railway provisions two services: the Laravel app from its Dockerfile and a Postgres 18 database with a persistent volume. The app reads DATABASE_URL from Postgres, uses an APP_KEY generated at deploy time, and exposes a public domain with a healthcheck at /api/health. No extra infrastructure is needed — add a provider key, deploy, and visit the app.

## Common Use Cases

- Starting a new Laravel AI project without wiring providers, database, and healthchecks by hand.
- Trying the AI SDK demo agent with OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini.
- Building AI features on Laravel 13 with Postgres as the production database.

## Dependencies for Laravel AI SDK Starter Hosting

- A provider API key (optional): OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini — at least one for real model calls.
- Postgres 18, included in this template as a database service with a persistent volume.

### Implementation Details

The app service builds from the repository Dockerfile, runs with restart policy ON_FAILURE, and checks in at /api/health. DATABASE_URL is set from ${{Postgres.DATABASE_URL}}, and DB_CONNECTION is pgsql.
