Deploy and Host Vanna AI on Railway

Vanna AI is an open-source Python framework that enables natural language querying of SQL databases using RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation). It trains on your database schema, documentation, and SQL queries to generate accurate SQL from plain English questions.

About Hosting Vanna AI

Hosting Vanna AI involves deploying a FastAPI server that connects to your LLM provider (OpenAI or Anthropic Claude) and vector database (ChromaDB, Qdrant, or PostgreSQL pgvector). The service uses retrieval-augmented generation to understand your database schema and generate SQL queries from natural language. This template includes automatic startup scripts, health checks, and configurable vector storage options. It's production-ready with error handling, logging, and Railway's auto-scaling capabilities.

Common Use Cases

Business Intelligence Dashboards - Enable non-technical users to query databases using natural language
Data Analytics Tools - Build conversational interfaces for data exploration and reporting
Internal Admin Panels - Let support teams query databases without knowing SQL
Customer-Facing Analytics - Provide end users with natural language database access
Data Documentation - Auto-generate SQL queries as documentation for database operations

Dependencies for Vanna AI Hosting

LLM Provider: OpenAI API or Anthropic Claude API (for natural language understanding)
Vector Database: ChromaDB (local), Qdrant Cloud, or PostgreSQL with pgvector extension (for RAG)
