Deploy and Host quickslice on Railway

quickslice is a GraphQL API server for AT Protocol records. It automatically generates GraphQL schemas from Lexicon definitions, providing real-time data ingestion via Jetstream, historical backfill support, and Relay-compliant cursor-based pagination.

About Hosting quickslice

quickslice runs as a containerized Gleam/Erlang application with SQLite for storage. Hosting requires a Docker-capable platform with persistent volume support for the database. The server ingests data from the AT Protocol firehose in real-time and serves it via GraphQL. Configuration is handled through environment variables for OAuth and via the settings page once the application is deployed. The application exposes a health check endpoint at /health and a GraphiQL interface at /graphiql for query exploration.

Common Use Cases

Application backends: Build apps on AT Protocol data with filtering, sorting, and real-time subscriptions
Data exploration: Use GraphiQL to explore AT Protocol records interactively with automatic schema generation from Lexicons
