Deployment

Railway start command

Use Procfile entry:

• bash scripts/start_with_migrations.sh

Railway environment variables

Use the canonical docs instead of duplicating variable lists here:

• Definitions, defaults, and validation rules: ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLES.md
• Railway test/prod templates and copy strategy: railway-environments.md

For production, keep the same variable names and update only environment-specific values (for example ENVIRONMENT, FRONTEND_URL, API_BASE_URL, CORS_ORIGINS, and production secrets).

Notes:

• Railway does not automatically read local .env files.
• Updating Railway variables typically triggers a new deployment.
• Keep credentials and API keys in Railway secrets only.

Startup behavior

1. scripts/apply_migrations.py runs schema migrations.
2. uvicorn starts main:app with PORT env var fallback.

Docker

Dockerfile installs dependencies and starts via start_with_migrations.sh.
