Deploy and Host Marlo on Railway

Marlo is an AI-powered email client that intelligently manages your inbox. It integrates with Gmail to provide automated email organization, smart filtering, and AI-assisted responses powered by Google's generative AI models.

About Hosting Marlo

Marlo runs as a containerized microservice architecture with three core services: a web application (Astro frontend), a WebSocket sync engine, and a mail ingester service for Gmail integration. The deployment requires PostgreSQL for persistent data storage and Redis for caching and job queues. Each service is independently scalable and includes health checks for reliability. You'll need Google Cloud credentials for OAuth authentication, Gmail API access, and generative AI features. Additional optional integrations include Stripe for payments, Sentry for error tracking, and AWS S3 for file storage.
