To fulfill the Publish Template requirements on Railway, your overview must include specific standard sections to meet their quality and marketplace guidelines.
Here is the complete Markdown to add to your Template Overview to address those missing sections:
Deploy and Host MongoDB High-Availability Cluster with Railway
This template deploys a production-ready MongoDB Community Server Replica Set alongside a modern Next.js 16 frontend and Border0 for secure access. It provides an automated, multi-service architecture that handles complex database clustering and secure networking in a single click.
Why Deploy MongoDB Cluster on Railway?
Railway is a singular platform to deploy your entire infrastructure stack. By choosing Railway, you eliminate the need to manually manage complex Docker networking or persistent volume orchestration for your database nodes.
Automatic Scaling: Easily scale your infrastructure vertically or horizontally as your application grows.
Zero-Config CI/CD: Every push to your repository triggers an automated build and zero-downtime deployment.
Integrated Observability: Monitor CPU, memory, and network usage for all three cluster nodes from a single dashboard.
Dependencies for MongoDB Cluster Hosting
Besides the core MongoDB engine, this template incorporates several key technologies to ensure a full-stack production environment:
Next.js 16: A high-performance React framework for the application frontend.
Border0: A zero-trust connector that provides identity-aware access to your private database.
Railway Volumes: Persistent storage to ensure your data survives container restarts and redeployments.
Node.js 20+: The runtime environment used for the Next.js application and cluster initialization scripts.
Deployment Dependencies
For a successful deployment, please refer to the following official resources:
MongoDB Community Server Documentation: Reference for replica set configuration and management.
Railway Documentation: Platform guides for managing variables, volumes, and networking.
Next.js Documentation: Framework reference for building and scaling your web app.
Border0 Connector Guide: Instructions for setting up secure, SSO-linked database access.
To finalize your Publish Template form, you must include the specific boilerplate sections required by Railway's marketplace guidelines. These sections help users understand the technical scope and practical value of your high-availability stack.
About Hosting MongoDB Community Cluster
Hosting this template involves deploying a three-member replica set within Railway's high-speed private network. The architecture consists of three interconnected nodes configured in a Primary-Secondary-Secondary (PSS) pattern, ensuring your application remains online even if one node fails.
Each data-bearing node is attached to a Railway Volume for persistent storage, preventing data loss across redeployments. The deployment includes an ephemeral Init-Service that automatically coordinates the cluster's internal handshake and security configuration, eliminating the need for manual database administration.
Common Use Cases
This template is optimized for the following scenarios:
High-Availability Production Backends: Ensure zero downtime for mission-critical web and mobile applications with automatic failover.
Secure Enterprise Microservices: Deploy a centralized, SSO-authenticated database accessible only via secure Border0 tunnels.
Distributed Analytics: Offload read-heavy reporting and analytical workloads to secondary nodes to maintain primary node performance.
Rapid Prototyping: Bootstrap a full-stack environment with Next.js 16 and a production-grade database in a single click.
