## Documentation

# Deploy and Host Redis Queue and Cache Starter on Railway

Private authenticated Redis with append-only persistence and a volume.

## About Hosting Redis Queue and Cache Starter

This deployment fork provisions Redis. Application domains and any authored TCP endpoints are generated for each new deployment. Database and queue services are private by default.

## Why Deploy Redis Queue and Cache Starter on Railway

- New setup and maintenance documentation with attribution to the original template.
- Public container sources are locked by image digest and public Git repositories by commit SHA.
- Database and queue services use private networking; external database access is an explicit deployer choice.

## Common Use Cases

- Cache application data.
- Back a job queue.
- Share rate-limit and session state between app instances.

## Dependencies for Redis Queue and Cache Starter

- A Railway account with capacity for 1 service definitions and the authored storage.
- Your own external accounts and credentials when an integration or model provider is needed. No paid provider subscription is included.
- Local passwords and service secrets are generated or referenced at deployment; external integrations are configured by the deployer.

## First Launch

Deploy in your application project and reference Redis.REDIS_URL. Clients must authenticate with the generated password. The service is private by default.

## Included Services and Storage

| Service | Persistent paths |
| --- | --- |
| Redis | `/data` |

## Operations

Append-only persistence is enabled and eviction is disabled, which suits queues. For a pure cache, review and deliberately choose a memory/eviction policy. This is one instance, not a Redis cluster.

Railway bills the deployer for actual services, storage and network use. Back up persistent data before source/version changes. This publication was checked against Railway's configuration schema and upstream source/registry availability; a full runtime deployment test has not been performed.

## Attribution and Source

Based on [Redis](https://railway.com/template/redis) by Redis Inc.. It appeared at position 5 in Railway's backend Popular/browse results captured on 2026-10-18, with 17,188 deployments reported for the original. That count belongs to the original, not this new fork.

The original software and repositories remain owned by their upstream authors and retain their licenses. This is a deployment configuration fork with new documentation, not a claim of software authorship or official vendor affiliation.
