Deploy your Go app to Railway
Step-by-step deployment help for Go apps on Railway. We fix Go-specific deployment issues, configure Railway, and get your app live. From $19.
Go issues we fix before deploying
Common Go problems that affect Railway deployments.
Ignored error returns
The most common AI-generated Go anti-pattern: using _ to discard error returns from functions. Errors are silently ignored, and the code continues with zero or nil values, causing subtle data corruption.
Goroutine leaks
Goroutines spawned without context cancellation or timeout. They accumulate over time, consuming memory and causing the application to slow down and eventually crash.
Insecure default HTTP server
Using http.ListenAndServe with no timeouts configured. The default Go HTTP server has no read, write, or idle timeouts — making it vulnerable to slowloris and resource exhaustion attacks.
SQL injection via string formatting
Building SQL queries with fmt.Sprintf instead of using parameterized queries with database/sql placeholders, enabling injection attacks.
Railway deployment issues we check for
Common Railway problems that break Go apps in production.
Nixpacks detects the wrong build system
Monorepo projects or apps with multiple package managers confuse Nixpacks auto-detection, resulting in incorrect build commands and failed deployments.
Volume data lost on redeploy
AI-generated apps store uploaded files or SQLite databases on the filesystem without configuring Railway volumes, losing all data on each new deployment.
Private networking misconfigured between services
Internal service communication uses public URLs instead of Railway's private network (*.railway.internal), adding latency and exposing internal APIs publicly.
Health check endpoint missing
Railway restarts services that fail health checks. AI-generated servers often lack a /health endpoint, causing unnecessary restart loops.

Frequently asked questions
How do I deploy a Go app to Railway?
We handle Go deployments to Railway end to end. Start with our code audit ($19) to identify deployment blockers specific to your Go project, then we configure Railway, fix issues, and get your app live in production.
What Go issues affect Railway deployments?
Go projects commonly have ignored error returns and goroutine leaks. On Railway, these combine with nixpacks detects the wrong build system and volume data lost on redeploy to cause deployment failures.
Can SpringCode deploy my Go project to Railway?
Yes. We specialize in deploying Go applications to Railway. We audit your codebase for Go-specific issues, configure Railway correctly, and handle the full deployment so your app runs reliably in production.
What does Go deployment to Railway cost?
Our code audit ($19) identifies all Railway deployment blockers in your Go project. Full deployment assistance is scoped with a fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing or surprise charges.
