Deploy and Host next-wp on Railway
next-wp is a headless WordPress starter built with Next.js 16, React 19, and TypeScript. It provides a type-safe data layer for the WordPress REST API, server-side pagination, automatic cache revalidation via webhooks, and a complete design system with shadcn/ui and Tailwind CSS.
About Hosting next-wp
This template deploys a complete headless WordPress stack: a MySQL database, WordPress CMS, and Next.js frontend. WordPress serves as the content management backend while Next.js delivers a fast, modern frontend. The included revalidation plugin automatically invalidates the Next.js cache when content changes in WordPress, ensuring your site always shows fresh content. Environment variables are pre-configured to connect all three services securely.
Common Use Cases
- Marketing sites and landing pages with easy content editing for non-technical teams
- Blogs and content-heavy sites leveraging WordPress's familiar editing experience
- Agency projects requiring fast iteration with client-managed content
- Migrating existing WordPress sites to a modern, performant frontend
Dependencies for next-wp Hosting
- MySQL 8.0+ (included in template)
- WordPress 6.x (included in template)
Deployment Dependencies
Implementation Details
