## Documentation

# 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.

## Common Use Cases

- Run durable workflows and background tasks for an internal application.
- Add reliable execution, timers, and stateful virtual objects to private services.
- Evaluate Restate with persistent state before designing a replicated cluster.

## Dependencies for Restate durable workflows Hosting

The deployment uses Restate Server and Caddy.

### Deployment Dependencies

- One public Railway domain for the authenticated gateway
- One 5 GB persistent Restate data volume
- One generated gateway credential
