## Documentation

> Note: this deploys a Medusa backend with two services supporting [worker mode](https://docs.medusajs.com/development/worker-mode/) which is ideal for a production deployment. For testing, development, or simple use cases, you can use [this template](https://railway.app/template/pwNTJ1?referralCode=TW4Qi0) instead.

Deploy a fully-fledged ecommerce backend and admin dashboard using [Medusa](https://medusajs.com/).

Once the deployment finishes, you can access the admin dashboard at `/app`. Refer to [this documentation](https://docs.medusajs.com/deployments/server/deploying-on-railway#create-admin-user) to learn how to create an admin user.

You can refer to the [Admin](https://docs.medusajs.com/api/admin) and [Store](https://docs.medusajs.com/api/store) API references to learn how to send requests to the Medusa backend.

Please note that this template doesn't use Redis or the production module for events and caching. Refer to the documentation to learn how to set them:

- [Set redis_url in Medusa's configurations](https://docs.medusajs.com/development/backend/configurations#redis_url)
- [Install and use the Redis Event Bus module](https://docs.medusajs.com/development/events/modules/redis)
- [Install and use the Redis Cache module](https://docs.medusajs.com/development/cache/modules/redis)

You can refer to the [Medusa documentation](https://docs.medusajs.com/) for guides related to troubleshooting, development, plugins, and more.

Please consider [giving Medusa a star on GitHub](https://github.com/medusajs/medusa).
