# Deploy and Host SvelteKit on Railway

SvelteKit is a modern web application framework built on Svelte. It provides routing, server-side rendering, build optimization, and flexible rendering modes out of the box, making it a great choice for fast, interactive, production-ready web apps with a simple developer experience.

## About Hosting SvelteKit

Hosting a SvelteKit app usually involves building the application for production, choosing the correct adapter, and running the generated server output on a Node-compatible runtime. This template uses `@sveltejs/adapter-node`, which makes it suitable for Railway and other Node.js hosting environments. Railway can deploy the app from GitHub, through the Railway CLI, or with the included Dockerfile. For production, the app is built with `npm run build` and started with `npm run start`. Railway can also provide a public domain, environment variables, logs, and optional services like databases or Redis.

### How to Use

After deploying this template, the app is already running on Railway. You can open the generated Railway domain to test the starter app immediately.

If you want to customize the source code, use one of the workflows below.

#### Via Railway CLI

Use this workflow if you want to edit the project locally and redeploy changes directly from your machine using Railway CLI.

1. Deploy the template.
2. Clone the repository from **Source Repo** or **Upstream Repo** in the Railway dashboard.
3. Enter the project directory:

```bash
cd 
```

4. Link your local project directory to the deployed Railway project:

```bash
railway link
```

5. Check the linked project, environment, service, and repository information:

```bash
railway status
```

6. Edit the code locally.
7. Redeploy your local changes to Railway:

```bash
railway up
```

Railway will upload the current local directory and deploy it to the linked service.

#### Via Git / GitHub

Use this workflow if you want to manage changes through GitHub and let Railway automatically redeploy after every push.

1. Deploy the template.
2. Open **Source Repo** or **Upstream Repo** from the Railway dashboard.
3. Fork the repository to your own GitHub account.
4. Clone your fork locally:

```bash
git clone 
cd 
```

5. Edit the code locally.
6. Commit and push your changes to your fork:

```bash
git add .
git commit -m "Customize Node.js starter"
git push origin main
```

7. In Railway, change the service **Source Repo** to your fork if Railway does not automatically create or link it.
8. After the service is connected to your fork, future pushes to the repository can trigger automatic redeployments.

## Common Use Cases

* Launching a polished SvelteKit starter app quickly
* Building a product homepage, dashboard, or internal tool shell
* Starting a TypeScript and Tailwind CSS SvelteKit project with deployment-ready defaults

## Dependencies for SvelteKit Hosting

* Node.js
* npm
* SvelteKit
* Svelte 5
* TypeScript
* Tailwind CSS
* `@sveltejs/adapter-node`

### Deployment Dependencies

* [Railway SvelteKit Guide](https://docs.railway.com/guides/sveltekit)
* [Railway CLI Deploying Guide](https://docs.railway.com/cli/deploying)
* [Railway Template Deploy Guide](https://docs.railway.com/cli/deploy)

### Implementation Details

This template includes a Railway-friendly Node runtime setup using `@sveltejs/adapter-node`. The recommended production commands are:

```bash
npm run build
npm run start
```

For local development:

```bash
npm install
npm run dev
```

The app runs locally at:

```bash
http://localhost:5173
```

Useful quality and validation scripts are included:

```bash
npm run check
npm run lint
npm run test
npm run build
```

You can also deploy local code with the Railway CLI:

```bash
railway link
railway up
```

This repository includes a multi-stage Dockerfile, so it can also be deployed through Docker-based build flows when needed.

## Why Deploy SvelteKit on Railway?

Railway is a singular platform to deploy your infrastructure stack. Railway will host your infrastructure so you don't have to deal with configuration, while allowing you to vertically and horizontally scale it.

By deploying SvelteKit on Railway, you are one step closer to supporting a complete full-stack application with minimal burden. Host your servers, databases, AI agents, and more on Railway.
