# Deploy and Host OpenBao on Railway

OpenBao is an open-source platform that allows for secure secret management and sharing. This template provides a quick way to deploy OpenBao on Railway, enabling you to manage your secrets effectively. This Basic template allows you to get a development environment up and running. While it is usable in production, a typical hardened production instance should be firewalled and only accessible from your internal hosts rather than being exposed on the internet.
