⚡ Deploy and Host StackRender on Railway

StackRender is an open-source visual database schema design and modeling platform built to automate backend development. It features an interactive ER diagram canvas that lets developers map architectures visually, customize table configurations, and export production-ready SQL scripts across major relational engines like PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, Oracle, and SQL Server.

About Hosting StackRender

Hosting StackRender on Railway moves your visual schema editor from a localized local instance to a persistent, team-wide collaborative cloud app. Railway deploys StackRender instantly using your repository’s production container configuration, automatically exposing the client web interface to a secure public URL. By running your instance in the cloud, you eliminate local machine mismatches, ensure all environment variables are safely controlled via Railway's secrets panel, and provide your team with an always-available workspace to design, view, and share relational models.

Common Use Cases

Visual Database Architecture & Design: Easily map out complex database tables, columns, constraints, and relationships using an interactive, draggable visual ERD dashboard.
Import/Export SQL DDL: Drop in an existing SQL script to render it visually or design a new database from scratch and export it to your chosen dialect.
AI-Powered Database Assistance: Leverage a smart assistant to instantly generate structural database blueprints from text specifications, enrich schemas, implement automatic soft-deletes, and produce instant system documentation.
Automated Incremental SQL Migrations: Automatically track visual changes made on the interactive ERD canvas to generate clean, production-ready incremental up and down migration scripts across multiple SQL dialects.
