Deploy and Host VictoriaMetrics observability on Railway

VictoriaMetrics observability combines a persistent VictoriaMetrics Community time-series database with Grafana and an authenticated public API gateway.

About Hosting VictoriaMetrics observability

The template keeps VictoriaMetrics and Grafana private, stores each service on its own volume, provisions Grafana's data source, and exposes only selected read/write API routes through separate generated bearer tokens.

Why Deploy VictoriaMetrics observability on Railway

Railway supplies private networking, generated credentials, HTTPS, health-gated deployments, and persistent volumes while the template pins reproducible official images and an explicit 30-day retention period.

Common Use Cases

Retain application and infrastructure metrics for small internal systems.
Accept Prometheus-compatible or OpenTelemetry metric writes behind a bearer token.
Explore and dashboard metrics in authenticated Grafana.

Dependencies for VictoriaMetrics observability Hosting

The deployment uses VictoriaMetrics Community, Grafana OSS, and Caddy.

Deployment Dependencies

Two persistent 5 GB Railway volumes
One public Railway domain for the Caddy gateway
