Designed for technical teams and growing businesses, Twenty provides customizable data models, powerful visual workflows, AI capabilities, beautiful dashboards, and deep extensibility — all while giving you full control over your data and infrastructure. ## About Hosting Twenty Hosting Twenty on Railway provides a complete, production-ready self-hosted CRM stack that can be deployed in **one click**. This template automatically provisions: - **Server** (`twentycrm/twenty:latest`) — The main application serving the web UI, API, authentication, and business logic. - **Worker** (`twentycrm/twenty:latest`) — Dedicated background processor for workflows, emails, cron jobs, and long-running tasks. - **Postgres** — Primary relational database with persistent storage for companies, contacts, opportunities, custom objects, and all CRM data. - **Redis** — In-memory cache and queue system powering real-time features and background jobs. - **Railway Bucket** — Managed S3-compatible object storage provided directly by Railway for handling file uploads, attachments, images, and documents. The template is intentionally designed to be **extremely simple to deploy**. Because it uses native **Railway Bucket**, the required S3 credentials (`ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, `ENDPOINT`, `BUCKET`, `REGION`) are automatically provided through Railway Variable References. In most cases, **you don't need to manually configure anything** for the bucket — the references are pre-wired in the template. All other services use secure, production-ready defaults with healthchecks, persistent volumes, and correct inter-service networking already configured. ## Common Use Cases - Self-hosted sovereign CRM for sales, support, marketing, and customer success teams - Custom internal platform with flexible data models and automated workflows - Multi-client / agency CRM where each workspace has its own custom schema - Building AI-powered customer operations tools without vendor lock-in ## Why Twenty CRM Stands Out While many CRM options exist, **Twenty** is specifically built for modern technical teams who want a beautiful experience, deep flexibility, and full control — without vendor lock-in or outdated interfaces. ### Twenty vs Other Popular CRMs | Feature | **Twenty CRM** | Salesforce / HubSpot | Other Open Source (Odoo, EspoCRM, SuiteCRM) | |--------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------| | **Open Source & Self-Hosting** | ✅ Full open source + full parity with cloud | ❌ Closed source + strong vendor lock-in | ✅ Open source, but often legacy architecture | | **Modern UI/UX** | ✅ Premium 2025 SaaS feel — clean, fast, delightful | ⚠️ Powerful but can feel bloated & complex | ❌ Frequently dated interfaces | | **Custom Data Models** | ✅ Extremely flexible (custom objects per workspace) | ✅ Possible but complex & expensive | ⚠️ Limited or rigid data models | | **AI-Native Design** | ✅ Built for AI from the ground up | ⚠️ AI features added later | ❌ Rarely AI-first | | **Developer Extensibility** | ✅ Excellent SDK & DX (v2.0+) | ⚠️ Requires proprietary tools (e.g. Apex) | ⚠️ Varies, often limited | | **Data Sovereignty & Cost** | ✅ Full control, free to self-host & scale | ❌ Expensive + no ownership of your data | ✅ Free, but hidden maintenance & ops cost | **Twenty is the clear winner** when you want a modern, flexible, developer-friendly CRM that you can self-host with confidence. ## Dependencies for Twenty Hosting - **PostgreSQL** — Core database (included & pre-configured) - **Redis** — Caching, sessions, and job queues (included & pre-configured) - **Railway Bucket** — Managed S3-compatible object storage by Railway (automatically provides credentials via Variable References) ### Deployment Dependencies This template uses the following official components: - **Server & Worker**: `twentycrm/twenty:latest` - **Redis**: `redis:8.2.1` (with volume `/data`) - **Postgres**: Railway Postgres template (with volume `/var/lib/postgresql/data`) - **Railway Bucket**: Managed S3-compatible object storage provided by Railway (with automatic variable references) **Official Resources:** - Twenty Documentation: https://docs.twenty.com - GitHub Repository: https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty - Docker Image: https://hub.docker.com/r/twentycrm/twenty ### Implementation Details The Server and Worker use the exact same Docker image but run different processes (web server vs. `yarn worker:prod`). Both connect to the shared Postgres, Redis, and Bucket services. Storage configuration (`STORAGE_TYPE=s3`, `S3_ENDPOINT`, `S3_BUCKET`, credentials, etc.) is injected from the **Bucket** service variables you configure before deployment. Persistent volumes are automatically attached for data durability. ## Why Deploy Twenty on Railway? Railway is a singular platform to deploy your infrastructure stack.
