Deploy and Host nexgent-trading-engine on Railway

Nexgent AI is an open-source Solana trading automation engine. It lets you deploy AI-powered trading agents with custom strategies, real-time position tracking, stop-loss mechanisms (fixed, exponential, zones), DCA support, and a live dashboard — all backed by Jupiter Aggregator for on-chain swaps and Pyth Network for price feeds.

About Hosting nexgent-trading-engine

Deploying Nexgent requires running an Express.js backend server alongside PostgreSQL and Redis. PostgreSQL (via Prisma ORM) stores agents, positions, trades, and user data. Redis powers BullMQ job queues, price caching, and distributed locks. On first boot the backend auto-runs database migrations and seeds an admin account from environment variables. A WebSocket server provides real-time position and price updates to the Next.js frontend dashboard, which can be deployed separately. The backend exposes a health check at /api/v1/health and supports graceful shutdown for zero-downtime deploys.

Common Use Cases

Automated Solana trading — Deploy AI agents that execute token swaps on Jupiter Aggregator with configurable stop-loss and DCA strategies
Portfolio monitoring dashboard — Track positions, balances, and P&L in real time via the WebSocket-powered Next.js frontend
Strategy simulation — Test trading strategies in simulation mode without connecting a wallet or API key before going live

Dependencies for nexgent-trading-engine Hosting

PostgreSQL 14+ — Primary database for agents, positions, trades, and user accounts
Redis 6.0+ — Caching layer, BullMQ job queue, and distributed locking
