Deploy and Host Restate durable workflows on Railway

Restate is a durable execution server for resilient services, virtual objects, workflows, timers, and reliable messaging.

About Hosting Restate durable workflows

This template runs Restate 1.7.2 as a persistent single node with a fixed identity and a private 5 GB data volume. An authenticated Caddy gateway exposes the operator UI and an /invoke/ route while Restate's admin, ingress, and fabric ports remain private.

Why Deploy Restate durable workflows on Railway

Railway supplies HTTPS, private networking, generated credentials, health-gated deployment, and a persistent volume. The template adds the proxy boundary and stable node configuration that Restate's self-hosting guidance requires.
