Deploy and Host Parseable-takehome on Railway

Parseable is an open-source log storage and search platform. This template pairs it with Vector (a log shipper) and a demo todo app to give you a complete log observability stack — deployed and running on Railway in minutes.

About Hosting Parseable-takehome

This template deploys three services: Parseable (log storage and search UI), Vector (log collector and forwarder), and an optional demo Node.js app that sends structured logs automatically. Parseable runs in local-store mode backed by a Railway Volume for persistent storage — no S3 or object storage required. Vector exposes a public HTTP endpoint that any Railway-hosted app can POST logs to in 3 lines of code.

Common Use Cases

Storing and searching logs from Railway-hosted apps without a third-party logging service Debugging production issues by querying structured log events with SQL Demonstrating log observability as part of a full-stack Railway deployment

Dependencies for Parseable-takehome Hosting
