Deploy and Host syllogic on Railway

syllogic is a full-stack personal finance platform for tracking transactions, balances, subscriptions, and spending analytics across accounts. It supports CSV imports, smart categorization, recurring-payment detection, and optional AI enrichment. This Railway template deploys the full stack with production-oriented defaults, private service networking, and persistent storage.

About Hosting syllogic

Hosting syllogic on Railway provisions multiple services: app (frontend), backend (API/business logic), mcp, worker, beat, postgres, and redis. Internal service-to-service communication is prewired, reducing manual infrastructure setup. Database migrations run automatically during deployment, and uploads are persisted on a mounted app volume. In practice, setup is mostly configuring shared variables and enabling public access only where needed. This gives you a clean deployment path with managed infrastructure, while retaining flexibility to scale services independently as usage grows.

Why Deploy syllogic 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 syllogic 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.
