Deploy your Node.js app to Railway
Step-by-step deployment help for Node.js apps on Railway. We fix Node.js-specific deployment issues, configure Railway, and get your app live. From $19.
Node.js issues we fix before deploying
Common Node.js problems that affect Railway deployments.
No input validation
Request bodies and query parameters accepted without validation, enabling injection attacks and unexpected data types.
Missing rate limiting
No rate limiting on auth endpoints, API routes, or resource-intensive operations, enabling brute-force and DoS attacks.
Unhandled async errors
Unhandled promise rejections crash the Node.js process in production, taking the entire server down.
Memory leaks
Event listeners not cleaned up, growing arrays/maps, and unclosed connections that gradually consume all available memory.
Railway deployment issues we check for
Common Railway problems that break Node.js 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 Node.js app to Railway?
We handle Node.js deployments to Railway end to end. Start with our code audit ($19) to identify deployment blockers specific to your Node.js project, then we configure Railway, fix issues, and get your app live in production.
What Node.js issues affect Railway deployments?
Node.js projects commonly have no input validation and missing rate limiting. 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 Node.js project to Railway?
Yes. We specialize in deploying Node.js applications to Railway. We audit your codebase for Node.js-specific issues, configure Railway correctly, and handle the full deployment so your app runs reliably in production.
What does Node.js deployment to Railway cost?
Our code audit ($19) identifies all Railway deployment blockers in your Node.js project. Full deployment assistance is scoped with a fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing or surprise charges.
