Deploy and Host TanStack Start 1.0 SaaS Starter on Railway

Production-wired SaaS starter built on TanStack Start 1.0 (1.169.4) with Postgres + Drizzle ORM, Better Auth email sign-in, Stripe Checkout + webhook billing, and presigned uploads to a Railway Bucket. One-click deploy: the template wires Postgres and a Bucket, auto-generates BETTER_AUTH_SECRET, runs migrations as a pre-deploy command, and healthchecks GET /api/health. Auth, database, billing, storage and seed admin all work; anything not configured (Stripe or Bucket keys) reports a clear 'not configured' state instead of crashing. Locally tested end-to-end against Postgres 18 with sign-up, sign-in, protected dashboard, project creation and S3 uploads. MIT licensed.
