Deploy and Host Reacher on Railway

Reacher is an open-source email verification API built in Rust. It checks if an email address really exists without sending a message. You can self-host it or use the hosted API, and it's great for keeping your user data clean and reducing bounce rates.

About Hosting Reacher

Hosting Reacher involves deploying its Rust-based API service and required background workers that handle SMTP and DNS checks. You can easily spin up Reacher on Railway with a single service and minimal configuration—just connect your GitHub repo or Docker image, set environment variables, and Railway takes care of scaling, networking, and runtime management—no servers or deployment scripts needed.
