About Hosting MaxKB

Hosting MaxKB involves setting up the platform to handle AI-driven processes including smart question-answering, internal documentation, and integration with third-party systems. The platform is model-agnostic, supporting both private and public large language models, and offers rapid deployment through containerization. Hosting typically requires configuring the database, backend services, and connecting with preferred AI models to ensure scalable, reliable operation. Railway simplifies this by abstracting much of the infrastructure configuration, allowing quick vertical and horizontal scaling in cloud environments.
