# Deploy and Host Uptime Kuma on Railway

Uptime Kuma is an easy-to-use self-hosted monitoring tool for tracking the availability of websites, APIs, and services. It provides real-time monitoring with customizable notifications and status dashboards.

## About Hosting Uptime Kuma

Uptime Kuma runs as a Node.js application that continuously monitors your services by sending HTTP requests, pings, and other checks on scheduled intervals. You'll need to manage monitoring data storage, handle notification delivery systems, and maintain check scheduling reliability. The application stores historical uptime data, incident logs, and configuration settings requiring database management and backup procedures. Resource usage scales with the number of monitored services and check frequency.
