## Documentation

# Deploy and Host LiteLLM (w/ spend tracking) on Railway

LiteLLM puts one OpenAI-compatible API in front of 100+ LLM providers. This template saves virtual keys, budgets and spend in Postgres, and you sign in with the password you choose on the deploy form.

## About Hosting LiteLLM (w/ spend tracking)

You get LiteLLM 1.106.6 and a private Postgres, with the master key and encryption key generated per deploy. Open your LiteLLM URL at `/ui` and sign in as `admin`. Add a model with your provider key, then create a virtual key for each app.

## Common Use Cases

- One endpoint for coding agents
- Per-team keys with budgets
- Spend tracking across providers

## Dependencies for LiteLLM (w/ spend tracking) Hosting

- PostgreSQL

### Deployment Dependencies

- [LiteLLM proxy docs](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/simple_proxy)
- [Supported providers](https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/providers)

### Implementation Details

![Architecture: apps and your team reach LiteLLM; Postgres stays on the private network; LiteLLM calls your LLM providers](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/mikedepo/railway-template-assets@0ecd7f580babe9d4cd72f46101518539d6eb3eca/litellm/architecture.png)

Needs about 0.9 GB, so use Trial or a paid plan; the Free plan can't run LiteLLM. Back up Postgres, and never change `LITELLM_SALT_KEY`: it encrypts the provider keys saved there.
