Deploy and Host OpenStock on Railway

About Hosting

OpenStock is an open-source stock market web app built with Next.js 15, Better Auth, and MongoDB. It provides watchlists, stock search, news, and chart widgets, plus optional automated email flows through Inngest.

On Railway, the recommended architecture is two services:

OpenStock app service (Next.js runtime)
MongoDB service (managed Mongo database)

Why Deploy

Own your data — host your auth, watchlists, and user preferences privately.
Full-stack in one project — app + database managed together in Railway.
Open-source flexibility — customize workflows and integrations.
Fast setup — Railway handles build and runtime for Next.js quickly.

Common Use Cases

Personal or team stock tracking dashboard with custom watchlists.
Internal finance/market-monitoring portal for startups and communities.
Educational/demo deployment for Next.js + Better Auth + MongoDB architecture.
Base project for building custom alerting or AI-assisted market summaries.
