## Documentation

# Deploy and Host unkey-template on Railway

Unkey is an open-source API key management platform that allows you to issue, verify, and monitor API keys with low latency. This template provides a fully self-hosted environment, giving you total control over your security infrastructure and analytics data without the overhead of third-party SaaS management.


## About Hosting unkey-template

This template deploys a robust, production-ready stack on Railway. It includes the core Unkey API for key lifecycle management, a dedicated Vault service for high-security encryption, and a ClickHouse instance for high-performance usage analytics. The stack is rounded out with MySQL for relational data and Redis for sub-millisecond caching, ensuring your API remains fast and scalable.


## Common Use Cases

- [SaaS API Management: Issue and rotate customer API keys with ease.]
- [Rate Limiting: Protect your upstream services from abuse at the edge.]
- [Usage Analytics: Monitor real-time API consumption and billing metrics.]

## Dependencies for unkey-template Hosting

- [unkey-api: The core logic engine.]
- [unkey-vault: Secure storage for secrets and encryption.]
- [ClickHouse: High-speed analytical database for usage logs.]
- [MySQL & Redis: Reliable persistence and caching layers.]
