Deploy and Host Selenium + Flask on Railway

What is Selenium + Flask?

Selenium + Flask is a lightweight setup that pairs a simple Python web framework with browser automation. It allows you to trigger headless Chromium scraping directly through HTTP endpoints, making it practical for small automation tasks, data gathering, or scripted interactions with web pages.

About Hosting Selenium + Flask

Hosting Selenium + Flask on Railway means your scraping logic runs in a containerized environment with headless Chromium available out of the box. You expose your scraping actions as HTTP routes, and Railway handles build, deploy, and scaling. This setup avoids messy local ChromeDriver installs and makes it easy to create small automation workers or integrate them into larger systems.

Common Use Cases

Trigger automated browser tasks via API
Scrape dynamic websites that require JavaScript
Build small automation workers for internal tools

Dependencies for Selenium + Flask Hosting

Flask
Selenium WebDriver and Chromium/ChromeDriver

Deployment Dependencies

Headless Chromium package (Alpine or Debian-based)
ChromeDriver matching the installed Chromium version

Implementation Details

You can expose any browser-based task as an HTTP endpoint. Keep drivers short-lived to avoid memory buildup, and prefer stateless scraping per request.
