Deploy your NestJS app to Railway
Step-by-step deployment help for NestJS apps on Railway. We fix NestJS-specific deployment issues, configure Railway, and get your app live. From $19.
NestJS issues we fix before deploying
Common NestJS problems that affect Railway deployments.
Missing authentication guards
Controllers and routes without @UseGuards decorators, leaving endpoints publicly accessible without any auth checks.
Incorrect dependency injection scope
Services registered with wrong scope (default singleton vs request-scoped) causing shared state between requests and data leakage between users.
Unvalidated DTOs
Data Transfer Objects without class-validator decorators or missing the global ValidationPipe, accepting any shape of input data.
Circular dependency issues
Modules importing each other in cycles, causing runtime errors or undefined injections that only surface in production.
Railway deployment issues we check for
Common Railway problems that break NestJS 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.
